Charybdis

See the white ship heading out to sea
It's precious cargo including you and me.

Are sliding off of course
We are dragged off of course
We are sliding off of course
We are scared to death of course.

My eyes slide shut for the final ride
As the horizon is flipped on it's side
There is no escape
There is no escape.

All hope
Will sink
Into the drink.

As my mind drifts from reality
Isn't it odd to be swallowed by sea?

We are dragged off of course
We are sliding off of course
We are scared to death of course.

My arms burn, I hang by a thread Love never met, no thanks was ever said. There is no escape
There is no escape.

All hope
Will sink
Into the drink.

Charybdis, cruel sister opened up her jaw
As all the frightened crewmen fell within her maw
See the miniscule, dancing figurine?
Arms so frail, such grace is never seen
At the end of your life.

I saw the creature's eyes beautiful and clear
The lips that mouthed my song curled into a sneer.

Hello my sailor!
This is your sister!
I'll drag you down, if you believe in me
So save your last breath!
The time for prayers will come. You'll pray for death before the end is done!

Salt and sand still sticking to my face
My eyes rise to an unfamiliar place.
