Blue sky, blue water,
Red blood of the dragon's daughter,
Slain? or merely gone from sight?
Go deep and you may find her.

The last great serpent Patrick slew
She bleeds for me, she bleeds for you
Saints? or old gods demonized?
Go deep and know what's true.

Black cave, white chapel,
Good and evil talons grapple,
Hell? or pilgrim's paradise?
Go deep and taste the apple.

Underwater, under skin,
Baptismal rites and tattooed sin
Salvation? or a heathen's pride?
Go deep and look within.
