The Tower by the Sea

The tower stood lonely
Rocked by the sea;
The tower, told to be made of stone,

Guiding them all ashore;
The tower gleamed back into the darkness,
A noble crown dost she own!

With all hell breaking loose
The ocean turns out to be a deserting friend
Lo and behold – a faithful beam is seen!
