Once upon a time I fought with God at a Lighthouse in Port Adelaide, Australia.

lyrics

V1:
I waited at the lighthouse for someone to come and save me, for some word to come and raise my sinking boat. All my anchors had failed me. Sea and kraken had scared me close to that cape where light should wave some hope amidst the shadows. I waited at the lighthouse for any kind of sign but the silence gave voices to my doubts.
Chorus:
This ship is going down down. And I'm going down with it. I am damned to the depths if someone doesn't save me now. I'm going down.
V2:
I waited at the lighthouse wishing, praying, begging should I stay or abandon ship now. I had no captain to steer me. No wind or waves to console me. The bottom of the ocean knows me by name and it beckons loud. One last chance dear lighthouse. Cast a glance my way. If you don't I'll give my last breath to curse you as I drown.
Bridge:
I waited at the lighthouse. Darkness evergrew with no light to answer to. Overwhelmed by orphaned demands. Salty tears lost in the sea. All my sails bleached by failure I surrender my challenge to the deep.
