Once

Just because I need love You think that I am weak Just because I have a heart You think that I can break A mountain once stood Where the Titanic sank And a scorpion king rules Desert remains of a rusted tank Since you fell from the sky The wind haunts your wings Your nest once a warm egg Is now a scrambled thundering The fall burn up all to char And reduce all in your rise Tsunamis inundate the shoreline To bring us all to our knees Eyes fill will her fuming The blue horizon black and red What to become of her seedling The green earth now bled Just because I need love You think that I am weak Just because I have a heart You think that I can break
