Seaweeds like emerald veins
She sleeps beneath the breaking weight
A silent dying ocean's slow defeat
The floods will rise

And take us all
An end to all this quarrel
A final grace to rid her grief
Oh mother

Show no mercy for me
Wash the stains away
Come unto me again
Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)

Purge the soil
Burn the surface
Erase (erase)
Erase the past again

Oh she will sleep like a breathing fire's kiss upon you
Oh my darling dear walk carefully
Perhaps she'll still be there? (Wake up!)
The rivers to rise again

Wash the stains away
Come unto me again
Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)
Purge the soil

Burn the surface
Erase (erase)
Erase the past again
