I feel that we need a change of pace. Yeah, it's original.
My hope is gone, my loved ones taken
Taken by the sea
Oh, but I wish I did not see
the horrors Mother Nature will bring
My dreams are crushed, my home is gone
Taken by the sea
The night was quiet, even serene
That night so ethereal, celestial
there was no single word, nor breath of warning
My ancestral home, taken by the sea
A rush, a tempestuous fury
Poseidon's wrath, explained
No buildings stood against destruction
All was taken by the sea
And I, I stood, an age away
Unknowing of my terrible loss
My thoughts, so shallow, warned me not
To what was taken by the sea
A newscast shook me to the core
Of a flood of my little coastal town
"There were all killed", said he,
"Taken by the sea"
