As the day gave way to nautical twilight
I turned my back on the force of which I knew
I abandoned it, rupturing a delicate balance
When I left my world for his
Day after day as my city fades and is swallowed by his sea
And she is boundless even breaking on the beach
Every alchemist knows fusion and fission
Can unify or drive a force to split
He has been possessed to drink of the spices
From the east by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium
She divides time between greed and his twin tyranny
Day after day cities are betrayed and the earthy sons lay their blame
And she is boundless but by then she has been frayed
As the night gives way to nautical dawn
I can see I must activate the force of which I am made
