[Intro] [8-bit rain tick, distant choir, rising water drone] [Choir, hummed] Ah—ah—ah— the sea wants more. [Verse 1] The sky went gray without a storm The rivers learned new names A blue shape under every dock Said mercy was the rain I followed water up the street I thought I found a door I didn’t hear the ocean climb I only asked for more [Pre-Chorus] Don’t bless the tide that finds you Don’t praise the god that pours It only loves the living land Still standing on the shore [Chorus] Kyogre, Kyogre Saint of the flooded mile You wear the rain like holy cloth And smile a drowning smile Kyogre, Kyogre Mercy made of deep You teach the lost to trust the flood Then take the ground they keep [Verse 2] They find no bodies on the road The road is under now The hymns go down in single file With salt still in the mouth The sun can burn the higher hills This water will not fall A little 8-bit hymn still ticks Behind a tidal wall [Pre-Chorus] Don’t drink the peace it offers Don’t kneel to what it brings It sings like church in pouring dark Then covers everything [Chorus] Kyogre, Kyogre Saint of the flooded mile You wear the rain like holy cloth And smile a drowning smile Kyogre, Kyogre Mercy made of deep You teach the lost to trust the flood Then take the ground they keep [Verse 3] It doesn’t hunt with teeth or claw It hunts the will to stay It waits until you bless the rain Then washes you away It drinks the towns before the flesh It files you with the tide It leaves a steeple in the foam To mark how high it climbed [Bridge] [Choir] A primal saint, the stories wrote That only calms the sea They printed it in children’s books So no one looks beneath [Lead] That line was never written kind It wasn’t made to warn It was a hunting call in rhyme For anyone still warm [Chorus] Kyogre, Kyogre Blue chapel, no dry home You fold a city into dark And wear it while you roam Kyogre, Kyogre Flood learned a tune You leave the world a quieter And hungrier monsoon [Final Chorus] Kyogre, Kyogre Saint of the flooded mile You wear the rain like holy cloth And smile a drowning smile Kyogre, Kyogre Say it if you dare The ocean bows Then it is everywhere [Outro] [Choir, hummed] Ah—ah—ah— the sea wants more Kyogre Amen
