Headlong

The tide came in on winter's eve

And my court was washed away

Alone and homeless in the sand

To Neptune I did pray



Why have you forsaken me

And stolen what I've made

I am but your humble servant

And my debts have long been paid



The sea, it did speak back to me

And addressed my one lament

Though wronged him I had not

My interests were ill-spent



For he was my devout guardian

And provided for my needs

But for all the purposes that it serve

To raise one's court upon the sea!



For Neptune washed away my house

And brought to my attention

A fatal flaw in how I lived

My lack of apprehension



Because I was placed upon this earth

For some specific reason

And to not fulfill this for my god

Would be an act of treason



Thus I vowed to never again

Place myself into harm's way

And satisfied that I his vessel

Neptune let me live my days
