Lyrics
Proteus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do thoughts need eyes to exist,
Or is the mind just a sham?
Reflections try to resist:
"I think therefore I am!"
Sometimes Proteus comes to the beach
Changing shape on shores of dry blood
Sometimes silent waves find speech
And turn to a furious flood...
While waves are dancing let's walk home
Into the western ocean alone
Out of water we came
Vast oceans will have sealed
Men's fate without shame
When being is revealed
Sometimes a wave finds speech
and slays the spirits it can't reach...
