The inflated vessel loses sight of the shore
Frolicking with the waves;
Petulant dance guided by the malefic stars
Night descends on the serpentine cadence
Defiant sky reverberates with diabolic chants
Revealing the secrets of treacherous destination
A raging horizon spews thunderbolt warnings
Burdened with worldly jewels by gouging insatiably
This undulating journey of delirium
Through liquid labyrinth, guided by blurring planets
There’s no strength to anchor itself
Decaying wood wakes up offensively
Foul wind dances with devilish fervour
A vessel imprisoned by fathomless misfortune
