Deserted Waters

Martyr

[Music: Daniel Mongrain]

[Lyrics: Francois Mongrain]



"A deep introspection might be required ..."



Acid rain can't dissolve

The stains which were left by the flood of tears

Foaming sea of rage can't erode

This heart of stone frozen by fear



Frail skiff !

Without a course already traced

Drowning with haste !

Frail skiff without a crew

Sinking to my rescue !



Lighthouses can't be seen

Fog-horns can't be heard

Deserted waters

By the tiny frail skiff

Diving at its own risk

Deserted waters

Leaving the anchor behind

Adrift goes my mind

Deserted waters

Scattered slowly, agonizing

Time kills time



The skiff ran onto

The reef of my memory

Hoisting the yellow flag

I stem the tide of my past



In this imminent wreckage

I despair for salvation

Am I destined to an unconscious scuttling ?

My soul now a soaked up desert land

Pulled out from my deepest torments

Submerged in my own torrents

Lurking in my own wake

I am my own stowaway
