Wavesinger
So it was with savage rage
Violence in a stormy sea
A crash of land to herald change
The seafloor rose around me
Anger so long always known
Smash all that gets in the way
No cause to cease this shattered bone
Til a voice drift o'er the waves
(Chorus)
Wavesinger, Wavesinger, what is this you play?
Mortal small, mortal weak, why do I stay?
Why do I listen, why do I yearn?
For peace I never can learn.
In an instant your song a scream
All of you gone there's just me
Crawl the depths of darkest dream
To this I could condemn thee
Words are nought, you have no power
My world now for all of time
I raise one eye and you will cower
You've nothing to hold the line
(Chorus)
Voice to cool an anger glow
Birds that fear me fly to you
What is this? How did you know?
Joy and pain in notes so few
Hear me rage at ocean's quell
Saltwater spray that harms none
Voice and drum your flute and bell
Terror of the sea undone
(Chorus)
Peace you say on crystal blue
Live, let live, protect what's ours
Share we must this world anew
Peace be still 'neath sun and stars
Almost belief for your song
Warmth and colour swim beside
Till you speak of those done you wrong
No more do we gentle glide
(Chorus)
So crash! Say you! Smash! Destroy!
Touch back to hatred raw!
Enemy cursed and enemy toy
Now slave to rhythm's law
Temper renewed, enemy shattered
Nature restored through melody battered
What you unleash with pounding drum
Know you the parts of the sum?
(Chorus)
Trouble gone so peace you call
Calm the hate, soften the tone
See you now, each lie your gall
You sing, I listen alone
So sing, little Wavesinger, sing
Cry soothe now you savage beast
Peace a tempt you cannot bring
And I Kraken you know least
Wavesinger, Wavesinger, what is this you play?
Mortal small, mortal weak, why do I stay?
Why do I listen, why do I yearn?
For peace you never did earn.
