For the great blue cold now reigns nAdamantly taking hold of every bruised, battered heart nAnd every slack, weary limb knuckles down nFor we shall bend to the cause: the open sea awaits us all nSurrender breeds no remorse nWe suffered through the ordeal nThey came to get me in my dreams nTo take me down to the ocean nOnly in death shall we be sage nAnd see that heaven lies behind nAnd we shall quake, reading those words on this book's final page: for the great blue cold now reigns nFor the great blue cold now reigns nCertain and endless, it seemed nBut every petty grain of sand nAnd every bone will be washed out to the sea nNumbness unfurls in each and every brain nThe coast now is clear nThe air is thin nAnd as your own plot unfolds nIt gets more difficult to bribe nThe magistrates of your own psyche nWhat will you say when all the lights go dim nAnd the cup of disappointment is full to the brim? For the great blue cold now reigns nFor the great blue cold now reigns nOnly in death shall we be sage nWhen every ocean has dessicated nAnd we shall quake, reading those words nOn this book's last page: for the great blue cold now... For the great blue cold now... For the great blue cold now... reigns! n
