Could have carried us farther Mired only by ourselves Horizon glowed in morning Through vile was our resolve A promise to betray A betrayal to remember Where the wave broke And flushed us back Back into the sea Would have brought a haven Sadness, that bitter failure Night's embrace was colder As the stars lit One by one A memory rejected Rejection was the promise Should have gazed beyond Ashen clouds that covered Saw us huddle Fearing That bloated bastard sunrise.
