[Verse 1] Beneath a ceiling made of blue, an ancient shadow passes through. A heartbeat older than our names, moving slow beneath the waves. The ocean carries endless scars, steel horizons, falling stars. A voice so deep it shakes the stone, singing where the dark has grown. [Pre-Chorus] The water holds what we erase, and gives our noise a hollow place. [Chorus] Big blue sea, wide as forever, how did we make you small? Big blue sea, holding together everything we let fall. One giant voice beneath the foam, calling through the ocean alone. Big blue sea, don’t let it be the last place left for memory. [Verse 2] Steel whales cross the ancient road, dragging shadows, bearing loads. Their engines drown the oldest song, while something huge keeps moving on. A thousand miles of open space, still shrinking around a single face. The deepest blue begins to close, where no one sees what no one knows. [Pre-Chorus] The water keeps a perfect score, of every scar beneath the shore. [Chorus] Big blue sea, wide as forever, how did we make you small? Big blue sea, holding together everything we let fall. One giant voice beneath the foam, calling through the ocean alone. Big blue sea, don’t let it be the last place left for memory. [Bridge] And when the last great shadow turns, the sea will keep what no one learns. No monument, no final cry, just empty blue beneath the sky. We built our cities from the shore, then wondered what the ocean’s for. We filled the silence, line by line, and called the drowning progress in time. [Final Chorus] Big blue sea, wide as forever, nothing is endless now. Big blue sea, ancient keeper, what have we taught you how? One giant voice beneath the foam, singing where the giants roamed. Big blue sea, remember me— or forget what we became. The water goes on. The song gets smaller. The water goes on. The song gets smaller. Big blue sea, wide as forever, nothing is endless now. Big blue sea, ancient keeper, what have we taught you how? One giant voice beneath the foam, singing where the giants roamed. Big blue sea, remember me— or forget what we became.
