[Verse 1] the way a monarch wears a jeweled crown— The ocean carries calm like a glare, bright enough to sting, heavy enough to keep the bones out of sight The coral forts open in soft bloom, like gardens no one ever planted. The turtle carries old maps in its shell, gliding through the current's silver lanes. [Chorus] But deeper still, where few may roam, The myths awaken with the tide. The sea keeps every treasure home, The sea permits you to steal from men. Never believe you can steal from the sea. Don't awaken the creatures in the deep. [Verse 2] The kraken sleeps in peaceful grace, It shields the deep's enchanted place, Where sailors swear they hear their names Inside the hull of wrecks long gone. Where stars once fell forevermore. Old Neptune lifts his trident high, Mermaids ready to take away lovers all to lower depths. Storms churn and mask the approach Dutchman's flying and Davey's Ghost [Chorus] But deeper still, where few may roam, The myths awaken with the tide. The sea keeps every treasure home, The sea permits you to steal from men. Never believe you can steal from the sea. Don't awaken the creatures in the deep. [Chorus after solo] But deeper still, where few may roam, The myths awaken with the tide. The sea keeps every treasure home, The sea permits you to steal from men. Never believe you can steal from the sea. Don't awaken the creatures in the deep den. [Outro solo]
