Cold lie
Out there in the deep blue sea
Lies a steady flow
When all things become quiet
The sea gives out a cold lie
Delusive as it is
Betraying the silent night
With it's dangers hidden beneath
The heaven thunders against it
Causing discomfort
The cold lie said as the waves crash
What can be said is said
As the sea rages on with it's tides...
