How curious the light behaves
Reflecting off the dancing waves
Oh how my very being craves
A view from down below
Suspends from my watery lair
I would not need to gasp for air
For I'm no longer human there
Beneath the icy flow
It's peaceful there, but I have found
I can still hear the distant sound
Of voices of the souls who drowned
And left loved ones to morn
The lonely wails transmit the pain
Oh those who just could not remain
So journeyed to the unknown plane
Of dead souls and unborn
But in this world still exist
Survivors who will always miss
The passion of their lover's kiss
That warmed them night and day
Though here above the vast, cold sea
My heart is without tragedy
For I have someone dear to me
Who hasn't passed away
Never let that be untrue
For I could not bear thoughts of you
Trapped underneath the ocean blue
Deprived of your last breath
No harm to you would I condone
For I'd be left here on my own
To face the tragic world alone
A fate far worst than death
