The Dusty Sea
Silent stars crawl up the night sky
Crying out loud in the lost space
Shedding the last few shards of light
Heartless telescopic eyes.. blind as can be
Figure out the signs for your own sake
You only have one toy to play with
Realization is the precious Kohinoor
Life is not larger than the sea
The horizon is to be measured
Clean your eyes for your own sake
Or would you rather stay blind
And laugh at decadence
Your feet are dusty
You have made them so
They testify against you
O heartless creatures..
Creatures of the nether world
Do not soil the sea further
The feverish fervour is frightening
May your souls rest in peace
O noble devils of the flesh
