Daimyo of the Sea

Ancient hierarchy of feudal beginnings 
And unmarked signs of filthy storms
Spark a change in life’s continuities 

Masses of horizons rise and fall incessantly 
Through the depression of wet attacks
Altered Mother’s laws lie dead

She said she hated their quiet
So she shot them in their silence
And the drum beat on

Unnatural rhythms of nuclear proportion 
Boil the tears engulfing existence  
Plumes of black dread end advances

The antique dynasty approach is back into play
And the Daimyo of the sea has no longer slept
Reality has turned into national red dots

Blind incandescent fury of the globe
And unknown tomorrows
Are now forever drowned.
