My heart abides here no more

My heart abides here no more,

Slightly astir, I bid farewell.

Unquiet jetsam washed ashore.

The riot ripens, soon aglow,

It will destroy your fragile realm.

My heart abides here no more.

Could we survive the grim downpour

And vehement currents that compel

Unquiet jetsam washed ashore

To float away, to sink below

The bellow of a doleful knell?

My heart abides here no more.

A no-name nomad, to and fro

I roam these days but leave no trail.

Unquiet jetsam washed ashore.

We parted ways; what lies afore

I'm unaware. But all the same, I set my sail.

My heart abides here no more.

Unquiet jetsam washed ashore.
