40 Ft

As I glanced once upon the foam 
40 feet beneath my feet 
The coldest calm falls through the molten veins 
Cooling all the blood to slush, congeals around the brain 

And forty feet remain 

Salt scales upon my drying arms 
Burn my back beneath the sun 
But I am cold beneath the burning rays 
Looking down, looking down, down, down again 

And forty feet remain
