The poem read throughout the song is \" The Great Wave at Kanagawa\" by Margaret Gibson:
Above you and your flimsy fishing boat
About to plummet
on your bald, uncovered head
the swelling heave, the sea, the tsunami
You will die, you know this
but it takes this wave
to make you bow your head
your heart, your whole life
And all for nothing
Nothing arrests the dark-held wave
Nothing quells Mt. Fuji's steadfast light
as it brightens the gunwale
and the dripping oars
The wave unrolls its readiness to kill you
No choice left
No safety, no rescue, no excuse
And no refuge but going into it
Entirely listening
to the sound of the wave on Mt. Fuji
Hearing in the marrow of your bones
waterlogged and heavy
only the sound of letting our breath out slow
as the steep wave snows down
In such extended motion
you dance and dissolve in the seethe
Much as flotsam rides the steep
cascade of foam and water
Melting into one cry
as the empty boats break up
and rush
over the edge of the boundless
