The Watcher at the Waterline by BL8antBand 

From the Shakespeare play Hamlet.  Can anyone save Ophelia?  I take the position of a person watching this from the sidelines.  

Lyrics:  

[BL8antBand Random Cattle Call] 
The Watcher at the Waterline

[Verse]
Ophelia stood where the wild winds play
Her dress like a whisper
Frayed and gray
The Watcher silent
Carved from stone
His eyes like anchors
Sinking alone

[Prechorus]
The water spoke in riddles deep
Secrets it promised to forever keep

[Chorus]
I saw her shadow ripple and break
A fleeting ghost in the water’s wake
She didn’t scream
She didn’t fight
Just faded into the drowning night 

[Instrumental]
Ophelia

[Verse 2]
The moonlight painted a jagged scene
Silver and black
Where she'd just been
The Watcher’s breath
A hollowed sigh
No tears
No answers
Just the why

[Bridge]
Was she a dream
Was she a sin
The start of the end or where it begins
I reach
I call
But the tide won't care
It pulls her away
It pulls my air

[Chorus]
I saw her shadow ripple and break
A fleeting ghost in the water’s wake
She didn’t scream
She didn’t fight
Just faded into the drowning night 

[Instrumental]
[Instrumental] 

[Chorus]
I saw her shadow ripple and break
A fleeting ghost in the water’s wake
She didn’t scream
She didn’t fight
Just faded into the drowning night 

[Instrumental]
[Instrumental] 

[Outro] 
The Watcher at the Waterline...
