A promise to betray
A betrayal to remember

Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea

Could have carried us farther
Mired only by ourselves
Horizon glowed in morning
Though vile was our resolve

Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea

Would have brought a new haven
Sadness, that bitter failure
Night's embrace was colder
As the starts lit
One by one

Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea

Should have gazed beyond
Ashen clouds that covered
Saw us huddle
Fearing
That bloated bastard sunrise
