You Are My Nautilus

My greatest misadventure Was my greatest test of all Shipwrecked upon your verdant acres In deep sirenic thrall Near-drowned you found me and in time Against the tide you saved this life With eerie grace, impassive demeanour Uncharted space, the place that had seen her An island in the grip of the sea My rock, a weapon, soon a beacon of peace You are my Nautilus The scourge of the abyss Anchored in the universe Adrift in utter bliss You pave the way to heaven You part the seismic waves Amidst the depths of dark despair, you light the way Immoral compass, come what may The latest of adventures Was the greatest of my fall Unfathomable, the best endeavours Saw my gravitas lose its all Lose its all I swam in shark-infested eyes Deep pools of sin, death stars arrived You are my Nautilus The scourge of the abyss Anchored in the universe Adrift in utter bliss You pave the way to heaven You part the seismic waves Amidst the depths of dark despair You light the way Immoral compass, come what may Immoral compass, come what may... To true north Hyperborean estuaries Once on from the bled horizon Set the tethered Kraken free When forlorn gales agitate the bed muck Into swirls of fantasies Storms above regale, and thunderstruck Hurl away our enemies Leagues ahead Twenty thousand hissing in our wake Together fed Our war machine accelerates Fates bow before me Fates bow before me In your embrace Fates bow before me Fates bow before me In you encased Fates bow before me Fates bow before me The world is braced Fates bow before me From sunken spires of Dunwich horror To sleepy R'yleh And deep aquatic gyres To the lakes beneath the earth Near-drowned you found me and in time Against the tide you saved this life Against the tide you braved this life You are my Nautilus The scourge of the abyss Anchored in the universe Adrift in utter bliss You pave the way to heaven You part the seismic waves Amidst the depths of dark despair You light the way Immoral compass, come what may Come what may... Come what may...
