Hell's One Reject
How can it be
That only me
Is stranded here
On this small isle?
I have no fear;
I am not in denial.
But I wish that I could be
Like the souls in the sea.
There was a dreadful gale,
Full of lightning and hail.
Our ship was meanly toss'd
And sunk into the sea.
All lives aboard were lost--
Every life but me.
And now I curse the sea and rail
Against the wind that dared to touch our sail.
That I alone am spared
Seems to be not quite fair,
For I see my ship, wreck'd,
With bodies floating dead.
And I, Hell's only reject,
Do naught but dread
That I must keep on breathing air
And not be at rest in a dark and wat'ry lair.
