An Invitation to Drown Songtext

von Rykarda Parasol

Cry, cry!
Cry, cry!
Seventeen ships sleep in the still night's water
Seventeen stars to guide them should they wake
Seventeen past the hour all things altered
Too soon the wind casts its fate

Red was the color of her coat
A long time ago during a storm
Red is the color of new lover's kiss
Red be the color ravaged and worn

Who cries?
Who cries?
To you: Take your time
To you: Ain't nothing but time
To you: Time is a long way down

Red embers burn in each vessel
And drift over sapphire depths
Upon the shore cat lay nestled
And cannot assume a watery breath

Who cries?
Who cries?
Who cries?
To you: Take your time
To you: Ain't nothing but time
To you: Time is a long way down

Some of us glide unsteady oceans
Some others through the safety of land
Red colors stoke our devotion
Seventeen ruins break on the sand

Who cries?
Who cries?
Who cries?
