I close my eyes and hear it rushing
From the cradle to the grave
This pulsating ever flowing stream
Running through my veins
An ocean within me
Tides of the deepest red I know
Drowning the filth of the outside world
Ever vibrant, never resting, protecting me
Healing me, a treasure beyond gold
Every heartbeat a movement order
For an army marching through
Every single heartbeat, an army marching trough
Never resting
Mystified and sacrosanct
A mesmerizing force from times immemorial
A fragile balance, in need of perfect harmony
All too often tainted and defiled
An ocean within me
Tides of the deepest red I know
Drowning the filth of the outside world
Ever vibrant, never resting, protecting me
Healing me
Never resting
Every silent breath I take
Fuels this vivid stream of ever shining red
Raging currents, silent waters, an uncorrupted mirror
Reflecting my state of mind
My river of crimson
Never be my enemy
Never run into my ocean of sorrow
Be my companion, I shall never leave
An ocean within me
Tides of the deepest red I know
Drowning the filth of the outside world
Ever vibrant, never resting, protecting me
Healing me, a treasure beyond gold
