Prince of Tides Shanty

The prince of tides rises
upon glass seas walking
on water as if the Prince
of Peace after drifting too
far from shore beyond the
sand bar of fate as destiny
awaits pero eu nao acredito
no destino sang the last of
the Conquistadors in perfect
Portuguese while courting
his Delilah like Samson of
old who took down temple
walls after killing the holy
beast the mighty Zion Lion
who feasts on honey from
the bees on the road to the
Promised Land as the surf
rumbles, humming a shanty
murmuring a prayer, peace
offerings and hosannas for
all the world to hear, Amen
