WHY DOTH THEE HAUNT THY SHIP ASTRAY?
Mine surreal and bittersweet voyage.
WHY DOTH THEE HAUNT THY SHIP ASTRAY?
Almighty storm, I pray
O'er darkness howling at thee,
Why doth thee haunt thy ship astray?
Cajoling vicious play
Mocking thee, preposterous profanities,
Almighty storm I pray
Gallery, I command thee obey
Thou shalt revolt banalities,
Why doth thee haunt thy ship astray?
Villainous hands will not betray
Shrewd theatrical brutalities,
Almighty storm I pray
Protagonist spirits decay
Bitter-sweet waves of realities,
Why doth thee haunt thy ship astray?
Ardent longing o'er lovers ballet
Deadly sins born unto thy depravities,
Almighty storm I pray
Applaud o final, sweet bouquet
Forget me not life's greatest tragedies,
Almighty storm I pray
Why doth thee haunt thy ship astray?
