Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald jewels
There lie the broken spines of seven ships
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold

Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips

I am the king of all of you

The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies between


So then come away you frail of breath
You feeling tired of life

And scared of death
You stain the air with your half hearted wit
A few steps more will make an end of it


I am the king of all of you
The timid land

The unknown sea
And all that lies between


She'll wander on a strand of dying light
She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight

May grace the throat of those the ocean spares
