She stands staring out to sea
But she’s blind to what is out there
She’s replaying her life history
And laying her soul bare
She feels the tears sting her eyes
Scared of where life’s bought her
She doesn’t see the summer skies
Only blood on the water
She thinks about the hopes she had
And a family lost to war
Ideals once so ironclad
Were not worth fighting for
The price paid was far to high
Overtaken by the slaughter
She’s no tears left to cry
Only blood on the water
The cliff edge beneath her feet
Waves breaking far below
Life that once tasted sweet
Burdened by deaths shadow
She knows the pain will not cease
That at least this life had taught her
She steps forwards to a final release
And her blood to the water
