Far beneath the rolling tides Where the sunbeams cannot go Gilled and scaled with sightless eyes Monsters down below Lurking in the icy deep Where the sea is black as ink Swimming horrors lie asleep Dreaming you will sink So keep your feet fast on the land Never you go too far Or feel the clutch of icy hands And never again see stars ♪ Should you hear a sweet refrain Turn away, my son and flee Do not heed the distant strain Calling you to sea Should you give her what she craves You will pay an endless toll She is waiting in the waves Hungry for your soul So keep your feet fast on the land Never you go too far Or feel the clutch of icy hands And never again see stars When one day we're far apart And you hear that melody Keep this song beside your heart Come back home to me
