Ocean of Tears



I can hear a Commotion,
   in an Ocean of Tears,
And it's raging through,
   the Waves with Fears.

And in every moving Stream,
   oh how I wish it was a Dream,
So that from this Nightmerica Scream,
   I can hastily make my Redeem.

But the payments are due daily,
   on the basis of the Loan,
And to an account of interest Acrued,
   we're indebted to this mortal Home.

So therefore in its Equity,
   structural damages you Decipher,
Much Decay on path to Gravesway,
   bringing sadness to an unpaid Piper.

For the Warranty of Contract,
   has a written policy Stipulation,
Of an incontestability Clause,
   worded without Emancipation.

Because in the Scope of Life,
   ofttimes we Drown from the Sound,
For we dive into the Flow of Currency,
   in the Bumuda Triangle Abound.

For once we hit the Falls,
   and don't heed the comeback Calls,
Our existence is hung out to dry,
   like a pair of farmers Overalls.

And in dissecting the remains,
   the Autopsy Reveals,
The cause of Death is no Breath Health,
   but in the DNA no found Pills.

For as the Rains are pouring,
   Vehemently in the Appears,
All that's Owed is Stolen and Resold,
   by the Extraction of Exaction:

       IN AN OCEAN OF TEARS.
