Oh, ye great mysterious – Thousand leagues of blue No one knows which mysteries are hidden Beneath your surface
Your awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath
The waves rise and fall Millions of mixed shades and shadows Lie dreaming and silent All what we call lives and souls Lie dreaming... Silent... Dreaming...
All what we call lives and souls The ever rolling waves Restless one All what we call lives and souls Lie dreaming Oh, restless one Your tide, the beating beast of earth
Oh, ye great mysterious shepherd of waves Offer me your secrets So he shall spout thick blood
