Jezebel

Captain Jezebel
dammit to hell
I'm standing on the shores now
watching you bear down on your white whale

you'll ride the bow,
but bow to nothing
hell bent on a perfection
you'll only find in hell

everything is thrown aside
to take that harpoon inside
that pleasure and pain
what did you gain?

and everything
is a sacrifice to your pleasure and pain, what did you gain? what did you gain?

Captain Jezebel
you finally got your whale
and when you proudly went down with your ship,
not a word from your lips, slipped

but your eyes meet mine,
just one last time
as I stood on the shores of paradise
and you slipped beneath the foam.
