This Castle Built On Sand

This castle built on sand 
wouldn't stand the wind of the bay,
or the waves anyhow...


It wasn't built in a minute;
it took many days
to erect it from the earth...


Ah, real trust starts in the eyes!
Wouldn't a lie tear down...
this castle built on sand?

 
Untrustworthy eyes of Eve,
temptation ends here;
no desire I will grant now...


A castle is a fortress
to guard love's sweetness,
and defend it from your lies...      


Step on the serpent which creeps,
take away those lips;
I would like to live, not die...  

  
This castle built on sand,
was made by a dream;
not by hands fearing the sea...
