Fear

from Sea Stories by Ben Levin

/

lyrics

On the ocean I heard a voice. A chunk of man, cast aside. Still alive. Only two men on Earth new he had survived. He and I. But I never learned his tale of triumph, never pulled him to his feet. I let our ship sail onward silent. I let fear get the best of me.

In my quarters I heard a rustle. Wheezing shadow, a stow-away. Half alive. Only two men on Earth knew where he hide. He and I. But I was fighting my own demons, could not be an accessory. I told the captain that I'd seen him. I let fear get the best of me.

On the port side, a great commotion. Pointing fingers, baring teeth. Take his life! Two men on Earth knew he was in the right. Just he and I. If I spoke up and said I'd done it, that would be the end for me. I cried out when they threw him over. I let fear get the best of me.
