Deep dark dangerous mysterious
All good things
And all wrapped into to one beautiful gift

We don't know what's there -what's lurking but we love it anyway

We send our kids and brothers and sisters to sail with it but we still love it

It drags them down with chains wrapped around their necks and cannons tied to their feet but we don't care

The only thing that matters is the sound the waves lapping peacefully at the beach, but there only peaceful to us

To those who live in it
It's hell, bubbling over screaming and murderous lying deceiving tearing apart what they love

But we don't care because it's the ocean

A/N- I don't exactly remember where this came from but I think I got the cannon line from one of "pirates of the Caribbean" movies where one of the crew members gets his boots strapped to a cannon and thrown in the water.
