Shadows

As you cast off from the shore
Hoping for a gentle breeze to push you on
You sever from everything you left behind
Do you feel alive? Did you think that you would ever get this far?

The tide begins to billow up from below
Spurs you farther from the bosom of the shore
The clouds begin darkening up above
You feel a tempest start to grow

The wind begins to howl, the thunder starts lumbering in
The rain come crashing down, you're never gonna go back home

As the tempest presses on, eating up the sky above
You eagerly try to break out of the storm
Shadows burgeon overhead, forging lightning bold and red
Leaves you clamoring for the refuge of the shore

The waves keep crashing down, the water starts to swallow you in
You remember what you left behind, you pray the wind will carry you home
