I'm cast adrift on enkindled fireship
and not even Zeus could quell these flames
My heart for storm’s waves feels ill-equipped
Crave together... we’ll love’s voyage take
Dream of a time, you may one day be mine
My soul feels yours through the dense sea-fog
I can't see stars, but oh... how they shine
Just like I sense with you.. that I belong
If our two laden lone ships collided
in uncharted, bottomless waters
Beneath these tempestuous, solemn skies
Would we be victorious... or slaughtered?
How can we know... if we don't even try?
Would Poseidon gift us his protection?
Twinned flame, seafarers ... granted safe passage?
Or feel lightning’s wrath... unyielding tempers?
Would vengeance sink us... our minds be damaged?
Breed resentment... sever bonds, connections?
Would hearts’ sails catch fire... and incinerate?
Or would souls burn... happily enlightened?
Illumined... our true love’s harmonious fate
Life filled with love, joy peace and laughter
Or drown in dire disaster... tsunami’s wake
No, we're not doomed... we bide time and meander
Two ghost ships off course... but we still have hope!
As fears’ obstacles, our love can conquer
Not on sea’s barren bed, die anchored… and alone
Instead, we’ll deep dive... claim Atlantis as our home
One day soon… throw love’s caution to the wind
Navigate... our one true destiny
For without you, forever daylight... would rescind
Spirit sacrificed... to crepuscular, cruel seas
My mutinous heart, could never give you up
For without you... would forget how to beat
I’d rather be shipwrecked, together… my soul’s kin
Than sail apart, without your heart... star-sailor twin
