I looked into the water
Saw myself a younger man
Holding clouds and rain and thunder
In the hollows of his hands
And off on the horizon
As the sky began to dim
Was a shadow slowly growing
Until it came to live within
The power that I shouldered
Thinking I could ride the sky
Was a falling star at daybreak
Was a comet bound to die
And now the water rises
And it rises to my head
But I understand the darkness
And the sacrifice instead
