Standing on the shoreline
Embracing the sea breeze
Staring off in the horizon
A marvelous city appears
She calls to me with promises of solace
The hope to start anew
Reassuring thoughts of peace
Keeps my mind at ease
Depths unknown separate me
From this tranquil place
For me to reach her coastline
I must see death's face
Traveling across this deadly path
To find this distant land
Recalling her promises
Impatient to reach my destination
Her beautiful coast stands before me
Unreachable
How could I be so close, yet so far away
With my home far behind
Understanding
The decisions I've made will
Come back to haunt me
Still pushing on to prove myself
Accepting my fate
It tears through my heart
As I reach this so called land
I've been lost from the start
No beaches of warm golden sand
Dark water surrounding
As well as the graves of many
As ignorant as me
To believe her foolish songs
Of security and peace
