Sleep, my child adrift at sea
Goodbye my hatchling, my only progeny
I was there at the birth of this world, my body old
It seems unfair that we can't share this role
We are watched by another
We are gods and prisoners
You find them lost, amidst this bleak abyss,
Spat out with the Brine, all those who Drown are lifted by our kiss
We are fluorescent in the grey, the stairs to Pjerakisch
On your way, you'll meet a bat
Face of a boy, tail of a rat
He does not know, he is a God like you
Please tell him that
You are faced with a change like no other
You will pass one day, like your mother
