lyrics

Shimmering lights dancing
Flickering at the sky
Foam tipped peaks refract rays
Cast from above and warm to the touch
The mistress of the deep;
Watch how she turns beneath black clouds

Feel your gut tied in knots
Fill your lungs up to the top
Drowned by fear as the waves approach
A thundering roar from an ancient throat
Huge seas move and drain to the poles
Breathless as the atmosphere follows

As the air thins in the tropics people flee from hell
Countless millions now refugees as polar oceans swell
Northern cities brace themselves for the unrivalled power
Of three hundred million cubic miles of moving ocean

Eyes open wide as the concrete crumbles
Clasp your ears as the glass panes implode
Waves descend with force of a thousand atomic bombs
As the power of the Ocean tears us all apart

I feel your warmth slip through my grasp one last time
Your silhouette slides into black emptiness

Plumes of ash billow from volcanos
Casting darkness across the surface below
Lava spews from fissures torn across dry land
As cities sink deeper beneath the waves

Just like forest fires laying waste to lush green canopies
Bringing skyscrapers down like giants forced onto their knees

The violent storms rage on
Flooding landlocked plains
As new oceans are born

Ash clouds descend like rain
Drying sea beds blackened
As lifeless deserts form

For those few lucky enough to survive the waves
A new plague threatens to consume
As the earths rotational mass slows the magnetosphere weakens
Leaving us exposed to endless waves of solar radiation

This radiation increases as the earth drops her shields
In yet another cruel blow from Mother Nature’s hand
For she needs no swords nor bombs
To crush our bodies whole
Her wrath compels
To drown our souls and forever silence our songs
