Elephant - The Raging Ocean lyrics

rate me

Hear the rhythmic crashing of the waves - the raging ocean breathes<br />

A crystal intelligence, the fiddle of the king of sleep<br />

<br />

Lured by it's bewitching song, we cluster unto it's shores<br />

To bathe in the primordial womb, the blood of the earth<br />

<br />

Within this ancient vast abyss, the largest creatures dwell<br />

Mantas, whales and timeless sharks, fabled kraken and plesiosaurs<br />

<br />

The hurricane moon rises, whipping the frenzied tides<br />

Winds of iron, mariners brace against the coming storm<br />

Beneath the water, a vivid cascade of boundless solar light<br />

True rapture of the deep<br />

<br />

Entranced by parallel streaks of white foam<br />

Follow the unknown path of the Bimini Road<br />

From profoundest heights plunge into it's depths<br />

Even brilliant Atlantis sank as a stone<br />

<br />

Ghosts of submerged vessels in the salty haze<br />

Those who dared to challenge this indomitable entity<br />

For as gulls now rest upon it's calm surface<br />

Even the most titanic ships unsinkable were swallowed whole
