River of turbulent sorrows?
One too many have drowned.
The debt in the heart, which
Happiness borrows, from things
Ever-changing and broken, alas,
Shackles down to the ground.
Lungs quickly filling with troubles,
Even with fear, and anger, and doubt…
Yet your light still refuses to go out.
Like a shark caged in a tank
Hungry for a bit of warm blood
Had been drifting for so long
Was it really such a wrong wish?
Cards falling out of hands and out of sleeves
Who writes this Tempestuous Destiny?
What goes on behind the curtain?
Your debt you had paid off
And took up another burden
Ships flying where once dragons flew
Fortune’s knocking at the door
A life of wonders that you never knew
Wringing out the golden drop
Fighting till you’re sore
Heart of freedom, heart of hope
Tell me, what do you beat for?
