He was a castaway he was a castaway he was driven out
He was a castaway he never fit in he was driven out he was driven out
Sat by the ocean waves he felt the ocean waves salty spray
Sat by the ocean waves he felt the salty spray under the thunder of the crashing spray
Strange the siren’s call and the cold embraces
Strange the darkness howls and calls to him with its cold embraces
He tries not to answer the voice but the draw is strong
He tries but the old man shrieks from his floating bones the voice is strong
From his mind he leaps and falls onto the ragged rocks
From his mind he leaps and flies and dashes his bones on the ragged rocks
An electric jolt and the lightning strikes and fades
An electric jolt and the trident strikes with a flash and then it fades away
And then time passes in an instant to the end of things
And then time passes until the end of the universe and all things
Everything that he loves and hates will be as one
Everything that he loves and hates will collapse on each other and be as one
And then he turns his back on the stars and the snarling cries
He turns his back on the stars and the beast with the lustrous eyes and the snarling cries
He stops frozen in his tracks and the wind stops blowing
He stops frozen in his mind his thoughts and the tracks and the wind stops blowing
And then he runs and leaps and falls onto the ragged rocks!
And then he leaps and flies and smashes and dashes his bones on the ragged rocks!
An electric jolt and the lightning strikes and fades
An electric jolt and the trident strikes with a flash and then it fades away
And the pieces and the pieces are all fallen
And the pieces and the pieces and the pieces are all fallen
Strange the demon’s call and his warm embraces
Strange the darkness howls and calls to him with its warm embraces
He tries not to answer the voice but the draw is strong
He tries but the old man screaming from his floating bones he can’t stand it for long
