Life's Tempests

We ride the waves of innocence
on the ocean of The Now

From the depths of dank
the evil stalks our bow

It's little that we can do
to keep all our decks so clear

For in our minds as we list each way
the demons are right here

Storms rage from time to time,
yes they come and go

When the next one pops up dear Captain,
one will never know

That's the fateful tale for those
who go off to sail the sea

For all of us that's the truth
that's forever meant to be
