spread your bloody wings

and though you've known a thousand men

but still

a ship never sailed on your sea

and though you've known a thousand men

but still

briney waters singe their skins

icy waves drive them back again

helmets oars and swords

are washed upon the shore

and you gave them all a thousand chances

and you'll give them a thousand more

in your eyes a thousand challenges

the water demon's eyes

are pink and green

scales of silver mirror mesmerize

the most beautiful thing you've ever seen

spits bile into your eye
