Beneath the Brine - The Family Crest

Oh, young love of mine

She sleeps beneath the brine

And oh the sound, the tick

The weighty click of her heart against my spine

Now the dark is nigh

And she lays here at my side

But like a steady squall

Her arms they fall and her legs, they grasp me tight

Oh, young love, young dear

Why have you taken me in your fall?

All of my love, all of my life

Given to you, sacrificed

Oh, my waking world

I leave you for a girl

Cast away into this blight

Swimming blindly through the night

Now my heart is bound

Like a plague upon this sound

And oh, it slips away, such soft decay

Then it grows

Oh, young love, young dear

Why have you taken me from the fall?

All of my love, and all of my life

Given to you, sacrificed

Stay clear of the wreckage

She goes down, down, down

And she burns like the sun

And it all falls away

Take your time and I’ll take mine here today

But it cuts like a knife

And we’re bound here as the night, it breaks away

And it all goes down

Oh, the sun!

Oh, young love, young dear

Why have you shaken me from the fall?

All of my life, all of my days

Given to you, cast away

Here’s to the war

Here’s to the night

All of my love, sacrificed

Soft and kind

Cold as ice

Hold yourself beneath the brine

Smooth as wine

Black as night

Hold yourself beneath the brine
