Song Lyrics

Solomon was so much greater as a king
Swore to slice a stolen child, caused a scene
This went on in the city by the sea
Sanctified by scripture we received
In we were sworn
And my love you are adorned

Took a multicolored shell from out the sand
Took a feather from her hand
I looked on at the beauty of the sea
Digitized in history
We were born
To look for bodies that are warm

Multiplied my misery by grains of sand
These words you'll never understand

We were drowned
In the river where we drink
Poisoned by a snake within the creek
Returned to form
This was the quiet of the storm

Otha Hernandez
