Aye, Aye, Fair Captain

Aye, Aye, Fair Captain

A Poem by Dustin Reichmuth
"

And into the abyss we go....

"
Shining bright, is it a city of gold, you seek.
What have we destroyed, together we create.
The limp leads the blind, our savior for the meek.
And here we are forevermore, city of thieves and w****s.

I, I won't be led into the darkness by a liar.
I, I won't let go tonight, before I make it home.
I, I won't fall down, and spiral into the fire. 
I, I know one day, I will, I will make it home.

So, send an angel to save my life.
Because, God, gave me, a chance to make it right.
So, bring me to heaven, where, I can see it all.
Please God, give me, something to break my fall.

Dust on the jewelry, dampens the life you hold so dear.
When we, have forsaken, just how we arrived here.
But I won't fall, for your tricks, you're a devil in disguise.
I didn't come here for kicks, I won't go on with these blind eyes.

I, I won't be led into the darkness by a liar.
I, I won't let go tonight, before I make it home.
I, I won't fall down, and spiral into the fire. 
I, I know one day, I will, I will make it home.

So, send an angel to save my life.
Because, God, gave me, a chance to make it right.
So, bring me to heaven, where, I can see it all.
Please God, give me, something to break my fall.

Don't let me, tell you that this is where it ends.
I see the light in you, the darkness cannot win.
Don't let them tell you, that this how it all begins.
I can see the angels coming, to, return you to within.

I, I won't fall down, and spiral into the fire.
I, I won't be led, into, the darkness by a liar.

So, send an angel to save my life.
Because, God, gave me, a chance to make it right.
So, bring me to heaven, where, I can see it all.
Please God, give me, something to break my fall.
