I sat by the bay to wipe your tears
I told you the tale of a monster that rages beneath the waters
I told you how hard I wrestled him down, how he fell into a deep sleep
I held your hand and warned you of the precipice
Begged you to let that monster doze
If stirred again, he will wake with a hunger far more insatiable
He'll cast you into the waves and feed on your strength
With a blow to your head all rationality will be lost
Gone will be the memory of those endeared to you
He will spend his time on your heart
Savor every last pearl of it's sweet, red syrup
Eat around what's already gone bad, leaving only what's decayed
Gone will be the warmth toward those endeared to you
When the last breath is on your lips, he will strike you a deal
While your body full of holes and tendons holding you up
An offer to restore you, an elixir just for this occasion
He'll give you your bone to sign your flesh and a cloak to mask your pain
Gone will be the memory of those endeared to you
Gone will be the warmth toward those endeared to you
Anew will be the grinding servitude to one who owns you
I sat by the bay to wipe your tears
I told you the tale of a monster that rages beneath the waters
I told you how hard I wrestled him down, how he fell into a deep sleep
I held your hand and warned you of the precipice
Begged you to let that monster doze
Still you shook that monster until he awoke
I watched him swallow you whole and fade into the abyss
