Prologue

Listen, listen to the sea

Feel the water at your feet

Listen, listen to the sea

Feel the water at your feet

This is how the tide behaves

The water crests and sinks away

We're swept along an open sea

And we are drifting endlessly

The tide will rise, the tide will fall

And in the end, it takes us all

We try again to tell the story

Good and evil, hell and glory

Listen, listen to the sea

Feel the water at your feet

Listen, listen to the sea

Feel the water at your feet

Cities built will fall to flood

And we will scrape them from the mud

The victors write our history

By conjuring the enemy

We're at the mercy of the swell

It beckons us and bids farewell

We build a cradle from our grave

And feel it rock, with every wave

Ebb and flow

The buildings go

The cities go

Ebb and flow

The kingdoms go

The empires go

Ebb and flow

The reasons go

The seasons go

Ebb and flow

The villains go

The heroes go
