Make An Island With Me

[Intro] [Female] Before the mountains had their names, Before the moon knew where to rise, I stood where heaven touched the water, With an empty world beneath the skies. [Male] I brought a spear of jeweled light, You smiled and stirred the sleeping sea. The whole horizon held its breath— [Female] So what exactly do you want from me? [Verse 1] [Male] Come closer, goddess, don’t be shy, The ocean’s wide, the night is young. [Female] You shake the floor beneath my feet. [Male] I haven’t even started, love. [Female] The water’s warm. [Male] The pressure’s rising. [Female] Something’s moving down below. [Both] Deep beneath the quiet blue, The sleeping fire begins to glow. [Pre-Chorus] [Female] The seafloor’s trembling. [Male] Let it tremble. [Female] The current’s getting hard to breathe. [Male] Then hold on tight— [Both] The earth is waking underneath! [Chorus] MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! Shake the ocean, split the sea! Fire rising from below, Higher, higher—let it blow! MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! Raise a mountain from the deep! Steam and thunder, stone and flame— Wake the world and give it a name! [Post-Chorus Chant] [Male] HEAT! [Female] PRESSURE! [Male] FIRE! [Female] WATER! [Both] RISE! RISE! RISE! [Verse 2] [Female] You really think you’re done already? [Male] Look beneath us. Not even close. [Female] Another crack just split the seabed. [Male] Then I suppose— [Female] Don’t say it. [Male] —another mountain grows. [Oceanid Choir, exhausted] Again? [Both] Again. [Male] Lava rolling into water, Black stone climbing through the foam. [Female] Every time you stir the ocean, Somewhere new becomes a home. [Seahorse, tiny spoken voice] Could you two maybe stop doing that? [Both] No. [Pre-Chorus 2] [Female] The fault lines sing beneath us. [Male] The magma answers back. [Female] The whole damn ocean’s boiling— [Both] HERE COMES ANOTHER CRACK! [Chorus] MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! Shake the ocean, split the sea! Fire rising from below, Higher, higher—let it blow! MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! Raise a mountain from the deep! Steam and thunder, stone and flame— Wake the world and give it a name! [Oceanid Choir] Fire in the water! Fire in the water! Mountains from the deep! Mountains from the deep! [Bridge] [Female] Look. [Male] What? [Female] The surface. [Female] Something’s there. [Male] We made that. [Female] We did. [Male] Want to make another? [Female] You’re impossible. [Male] That isn’t a no. [Final Chorus] MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! Turn the fire into sea! Turn the sea to stone and shore, Then shake the whole damn world once more! MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! From the darkness, land shall rise! Lava cooling, oceans roaring, New-born mountains greet the skies! [Both] From the fire! From the foam! From the deep we build a home! [Choir] RISE! RISE! RISE! [Both] MAKE AN ISLAND WITH ME! [Outro] [Seahorse, far away] I am moving. [Oceanid Choir] Probably wise. [Female, softly] Again? [Male] Again.
