emerald king 

The emerald king made the diamonds sing
in the city beneath the sea
Where the waves are dry when they touch the sky
and all is strange to me
the brave men dance while they leap and prance
from the band a golden tune
the sad girls walk while we beg them to talk
as they eat with a silver spoon
all I can see is my own sanity
and we walked beneath the waves
is the sea wall cracking with insects clacking
there are breaks between the days
sunlight is fleeting and demons are sleeping
night time blends to gray
almost we wish for a burning kiss
for the pain of something to say
