I sometimes wear an angry cloak,
as in my fury comes the pain.
Yet underneath in blood I soak,
I cannot clear my name, my shame.
As in my fury comes the pain,
as ships are sometimes caught in storms.
I cannot clear my name, my shame.
if one survives, the rust still forms.
As ships are sometimes caught in storms,
though vapours vanish with the wind.
If one survives the rust still forms,
as time can never fate rescind.
Though vapours vanish with the wind,
yet underneath in blood I soak.
As time can never fate rescind.
I sometimes wear an angry cloak.
