The Rise and Fall of Helios

Up-anchor and onwards
The waters we fare
The wonderless deckhand
A breath of sea air
We buffet the waves so free
All night long
From Patmos,, through, to Rhodes
Merchants were plundered
Caught amid ships we froze
Steady as she goes
I saw you standing so tall
Sun god
A prayer at the altar
For safe voyage at sea
Poseidon almighty
Did I offend thee?
Send heaven-sent clemency
All night long
A bitter wind shifted
The temple she rose
A fair-weather sailor
He quakes in the hold
Seven white horses and me
We saw you buckle and fall
Sun god
Sun god
