Road to the Sea

The wind blows and the birds scream

The sun disappears into the pits of the valley

And the the sky blankets in the darkness

No clouds, but the sky slowly weeps

And heavens tears fall straight to the sea

That roar in rage and agony

And you held my hand and walked with me

Through the heat of your body, I felt your heart beat

The trees dance while the lightning appears

I’m deaf by your words ‘cause the thunder I cannot hear

I’m not afraid, but there’s still room for fear

Your eyes they tell me what you need to say

But your lips tremble in place

Stumble your words, the pain is the price I pay

My heart drips blood—I feel my vision slipping away

I do not belong here, but I cannot leave

You let go and our fingers capture the breeze

On a curved road leading to our possible destiny

Forever the end of me—or—our possible eternity

I should smile because I’m free

I should cry because I'm watching you disappear

In front of me

The storm is raging a war

Between land and sky and I’m stuck in between

What is happening?

The heavens is raining down on my body

While hell is trying to drag me to my feet

I have strength, give my heart the courage

To walk on this curved road

It is here where you left me

I walk through the blanket of rain

On a curved road not knowing the possibilities

The dark sky glows

With the lightning that appears

Followed by thunder I cannot hear

As the wind blows and the birds scream

And I walk this curved road

Leading to our possible destiny—or—forever the end of me

The road to the sea...
