The Cleansing

Like a ship on untamed oceans

I'm lost without a trace

Clouds in their gentle motions

Mock me with their grace

I watch the fading sunset

As the waves come crashing in

And hope the sea will cleanse me

From the pain within

In seas of sin, I lost my soul

Never to be found

A life astray, without control

Sinking to the ground

And on the next day's morning

I shall be offered to the sea

To wash away my guilt forever

And end my misery
