With history, your bluest grace Falls apart, cascading down Speak to me of beautiful hate Of island chains swept with the tide Tragedy rippening on The coral leis of a conquering king They're swept away Oh, but not lost. Beneath the waves of trembling stars The roads wind towards The windward side My soul is saved by these city lights My face is framed by the blanket of night They're swept away Oh, but not lost Swept away, Oh, but not lost Not lost Was I too proud to say, or to wish for Words that I knew were forbidden? Because I don't want to know I didn't want to see what I saw When I looked in the distance They're swept away Oh, but not lost. (any comments - blutsauger3@hotmail.com)
