A wave of violence Breaks onto silence We watch The ebb and flow Of heartache Come and go The plea unheard A cry wasted The horizon fades As salts tasted A country sinks No peace for miles A sea of waste And a baron smiles Tides come in fast Then come the waves Which do not last They will crest and they will fade And now As a land succumbs To bad ideas And beach bums A wave Of sadness Dissolves To madness
