The storm rumbles
The waves clash
And the ship sinks

My hands tremble
Fear of broken glass
Try and try to think

It finally comes
Nay not way out
But to sink and die

The light shall shine
And life will be Divine
Free from guilt and sorrow

This is not about a sinking ship...it has a deeper meaning.
