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
