about

For the God of the Sea...

lyrics

Walking through the alleyways now,
Filled with broken glass,
Remembering waves they once felt,
when they were merely grains of sand,

Conch-shells on the seashore echo,
Memories of the past,
Of how they made those phone calls,
From all those mermaids to their lads,

Searching for the secret of the,
Secret of the flame,
The one that keeps on burning
Atop the highest earthly waves,
The stormy sea now wages war with,
Poseidon's holy wrath,
Wondering why the seagulls swam to shore,
Instead of flying back,
But deep inside the lighthouse
Poseidon's second son calls home,
They keep the beacons burning for all the sailors on the roam

And one day when these waves come,
Crashing down upon us, I'll be right here next to you,
And when you see that lighthouse guiding
Your way back, then you'll realize what I saw in you,

Searching for the secret of the secret of the flame,
The one that keeps on burning even in the pouring rain,
One night the light stopped shining,
And from the lighthouse were heard blues,
The last the lighthouse beacons shone,
Was the day that he last saw you.
