I fall into an alien sea
a crystal womb of liquid shadow
covers me--
In silent depths, I dare to dream
infinity passes laughingly,
strangely--
I've come home to my mothers
disrespect and savage care--
A sea-bound soul in coral,
lost in time and blue dispair--
Dancing with a cloud of silver,
the cod escape--they cannot use my
company--
The ocean bed is stirred by current.
There is no hope that I can ever
capture sleep--
I've come home to my mothers
disrespect and savage care--
A sea-bound soul in coral,
lost in time and blue dispair--
Once enclosed with iron gates
cold and strong,
Heroic in my execution
before the seas thund'ring song
Now I've come home to my mothers
disrespect and savage care--
A sea-bound soul in coral,
lost in time and blue dispair--
Atlantis...
