Beneath the surface faults are stirring And shifts occur The body under pressure
The rise and fall
Of ocean waters Subducting or overriding plates Create the wave The rise and fall (Rise and fall) Of civilizations They are bred in ignorance of placement Drown in the wave
Tempestuous and turbulent The currents rip apart the world The body swells and saunters It conquers
The rise and fall Of ocean waters Subducting or overriding plates Create the wave The rise and fall (Rise and fall)
Of civilizations They are bred in ignorance of placement Drown in the wave
[Guitar solo 1: Michael Stancel] [Guitar solo 2: Greg Burgess]
Wiping out everything around its surroundings Wiping out everyone found under the thundering Crash In a flash, whipped and lashed by wind and water Slaughtered by what once nurtured, caught in submergence Painted by the colors of the currents
Drowned and gone Lost in the ocean Drowned and gone
