Nautical Twilight

[Verse 1]

As the day gave way to nautical twilight

I turned my back on the force of which I knew

I abandoned it, rupturing a delicate balance

When I left my world for his

[Chorus 1]

Day after day, as my city fades

And is swallowed by his sea

And she is boundless

Even breaking on the beach

[Verse 2]

Every alchemist knows fusion and fission

Can unify or drive a force to split

He has been possessed

To drink of the spices from the east by his liquid mistress

Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium

She divides time between greed and his twin tyranny

[Chorus 2]

Day after day, cities are betrayed

And the earthy sons lay their blame

And she is boundless

But by then she has been frayed

[Outro]

As the night gives way to nautical dawn

I can see I must activate the force of which I am made
