This Lost Champion

The corners of these eyes hide blank designs
There was never space between these thin red lines
Now we speak in semaphore
And I am reaching out again from ship to shore

When it goes black
with waters closing in
You came in last with this lost champion

Sullied hands that bear the acquiesced
If I could have never felt this I'd give all that's left
These white flags seem colorfast
And now we speed to throw away the past

No matter where the passion lives, our tears are pointless
And I will show you now where heaven is
But you won't see this
I've jettisoned the curse that beckons us - it feeds the abyss
These tepid feet beneath the waves
To ring it in with other gifts

It's black
The water's closing in
You came in last with this lost champion
