Charybdis Lyrics

The water pulls from underneath.
The current grasps at the chains, they slide from my hips.
I drift, as I am helpless to the waves.

Now, all sound is crashing surf and chattering teeth.
Overwhelmed in it I feel the cold upon my lips.
The water pulls from underneath.

Against the ocean my sword is useless within it’s sheath.
The tide is barren without sight of any ships.
I drift, as I am helpless to the waves.

With my feet I cannot find even a reef.
As my arms grow tired my body dips.
The water pulls from underneath.

More rapid is the current, a hand from beneath.
Fighting the flow, exhausted and conceded, by body slips.
I drift, as I am helpless to the waves.

And from the sea, a vortex I bequeath.
The waters churn, dragging me in, my limbs jerk, my neck whips.
The water pulls from underneath.
I drift, as I am helpless to the waves.
