C E
I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
C E
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...

Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
C E
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...
[Chorus]

That boxes me together forever it forms the seal (Yes)

When they who to the sea go down

And in the waters ply their toil

Are lifted on the surges crown
F# E F# D
And plunged where seething eddies boil
