Long gone are the days / When jealousy prevailed / Ripping suicide-sized holes / In the
fabric of this sail: my soul / The open wounds, blinding pain / A decade-long hurricane /
For today it waned, I learned its name / Truth be told, I’ll never be the same / Behold:
the birth of a man of might / Tempered steel, wings in flight / Descend and bend space
and time / I am who am and this life is mine / My heart beats free and out of time / I am
who am and this world is mine / In times of growth, prosperity / The rise before the fall:
decline / The trade-winds flow / Breathe and blow / to and fro / Westward on I sail / The
one-way, whistling wind won’t fail / Destroy the man with coward’s doubt / With lifted leg:
curb-stomp him out / Bloody sidewalk / Teeth cracked: gone / The tides have turned,
friend / I’m cracking on! / I’m gone / I’m cracking on! / Already gone / Thus begins your
slow decay / Drowning just below the waves / Sinking to your resting place / Ocean floor
/ Cold, black Bay
