The Lighthouse (A Candle For Raul)

Aboard the ship
Is it sinking yet?
Is it bleeding the oil that you greed
Had you feasted in splendor
Are you taking in water
Or does the fuel spill too fast
Do you hear the telephone…there’s no answer

I swear to you
I’ll patch the hole you carved yourself
I can quell all the chaos that downs you
And you’ll hear my screaming forever
First voyage to last
I’m here for you
But you can’t seems to see me from this lighthouse
I’ll be screaming forever

Jump ship…bail out…
Man overboard
Yet you stay in a doomed ship of never
Can you see the iceberg ahead, or the passengers that drown
If not, I doubt you’ll see the housing that will save you

Ship has sunk, no one found
Search party lost in the wreckage
Frozen in disbelief: broken thoughts, broken hearts
I knew you from the beginning…and I saw your whole ending

Couldn’t you see the candle lighting the safe house...burning forever
I’m screaming to the heavens that your remains will be found
Nuisance screams
Lucid dreams
Burning oil for the hell where you’ll toil
Did you never see me scream from the lighthouse?
