Pesant’s Lament

Through weather and storms and the pull of the waves
The words of my father and figure remain
Etched in my palm as the tears filled his eyes
I'll be your strong shoulder as long as you’re mine

My heart hangs heavy and low
Sheltered myself in a fruit that explodes
Like the anger bottled inside of my chest
Until the end, my friends, anchors away

The howl of the tempest and bite from the cold
None strong as the warmth from my good brother's hold
The whips from my rivals and foes melt away
As he sings to me here by your side I will stay

My heart hangs heavy and low
Sheltered myself in a fruit that explodes
Like the anger bottled inside of my chest
Until the end, my friends, anchors away

A round of our vices in silence we raise
My heroine sister too many has braved
Her voice thick with whiskey and smile sweet as wine
She whispers as long as you're here, I’ll be fine

My heart hangs heavy and low
Sheltered myself in a fruit that explodes
Like the anger bottled inside of my chest
Until the end, my friends, anchors away

Golden and gentle in flickers of light
My lover's firm answer cuts clean through the night
No matter the rage of the tide on our shores
I'll love you forever, forever I'm yours

My heart hangs heavy and low
Sheltered myself in a fruit that explodes
Like the anger bottled inside of my chest
Until the end my friends, until we meet again
Anchors away my friends, anchors away
