The Sea Wolf - Slough Feg

The shadow of innocence gone

A childhood lost in the waves

For all time

While pouring over volumes I lay

Like curses that echo the sea

Without rhyme

Fortunes are drowned

Swallowed up by the sea

Shackled in time

Never known, never seen

The battles are brimming below

The gallons of emptiness found

In the waves

A circling vortex of time

One thousand and more men are drowned

In their graves

Echoes of pride

Swallowed up by the sea

Shackled in time

Never lost, never seen

This body is crooked and old

But doubtless I’ll live and I’ll die

By the sea

I’m wizened and tired and cold

But fire still burns in my mind

You can see

Fortunes are found

Now revealed by degree

Shackled in time

Now I’m lost with the sea
