[Verse 1] The sea remembers names no tongue can keep, and whispers them through caverns carved of salt. Each wave arrives as though it bears a secret, each retreat conceals a wound the moon forgot. [Pre=chorus] Do not mistake the calm for kindness. with storms yet unborn. Soon it will leave one breathless [Chorus] For they remember the First Flood, when the ocean rose from the opening of an immeasurable eye. [Verse 2] Some say the tides obey the moon. The moon knows better. She keeps her distance, circling forever, who once glanced downward Afraid of the instance. [Pre=chorus] Do not mistake the calm for kindness. with storms yet unborn. Soon it will leave one breathless [Chorus] For they remember the First Flood, when the ocean rose from the opening of an immeasurable eye. [Verse 3] When midnight smooths the sea into polished obsidian, and no wind troubles its endless mirror, do not celebrate the silence. [Pre chorus] Do not mistake the calm for kindness. something older has begun to listen. [Chorus] For they remember the First Flood, when the ocean rose from the opening of an immeasurable eye.
