Ocean (The)

Palaeoarchaean
Free man, you shall forever cherish the ocean! The sea is your mirror; you contemplate your soul In its eternal waves that chafe and roll Your mind's abyss is bitter as the sea Both of you live in darkness and in mystery Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being? O Sea, who knows your hidden riches Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously? You love to plunge into your image down to the core Embracing it with eyes and arms: your very heart Sometimes finds a distraction from its urgent smart In the wild ocean's untamable roar Both of you live in darkness and mystery Man, who has ever plumbed the depths of your being? O Sea, who knows your hidden riches Seeing the secrets you preserve so jealously? And yet for countless ages you have fought each other With hands unsparing and with unforbearing breath Each an eternal foe to his relentless brother So avid are you both of slaughter and of death Man and the sea Man and the sea Man and the sea Man and the sea Eternal wrestlers! Man and Sea Unrelenting twins! Man and Sea - You have fought each other Man and Sea - With unforbearing breath Man and Sea - Eternal Wrestlers! Man and Sea Man and Sea - Each an eternal foe to his brother Man and Sea - So avid are you both of fight and death Aus Songtexte Mania
