The frothing sea, a mistress cold, her wrath runs deep Eternally, brooding old, and restless in her sleep Awakens now, as solid land, shudders at its core Some tell how, by nature's hand, mankind could be no more
A wall as high as any rampart Fear as thick as fortress stones Cowering in pathetic hiding Tens of thousands die alone
O morbind fascination, as I face a watery death Edifice of living ocean, defies the words of mortal breath I see the breadth of terror I see the depths of awe I see our human wages All in the ocean's maw Ohhh Vindicated prophets Behold your doom and laugh
Once realm of sharks, and creeping things, anemones and eels Expands the dark, the rippling rings, undoing glass and steel Uncharted force, a crushing blow, the deadliest caress Our time was short, but now we know, how surf and tide can undo flesh
A wall as high as any rampart Fear as thick as fortress stones Cowering in pathetic hiding Tens of thousands die alone Terrible, primeval power Might of man at one decried In its wake, the flowing tower Leaves our corpses in the tide
Indifferent Uncaring The vast impartial sea Amassing Descending Cold waves encompass me
