Torn

Through the rain
Past the frigid cold
Of blood sweat and tears
Lay the open seas

Ground soaked red
Tirelessly to be tread
'Neath squelching boots
The whispers of the dead

So far away
Behind the curtain of piercing rain
Surrounded by swampy earth
Hidden from my blinded ears

Chase the mirage
Taunted by her smile
And her promise
To bring to me the open seas

Still the distance
It doesn't seem to shrink
Reeks of blood, sweat and tears
It's all I seem to see
