V5.5

[Verse 1] The sea begins to fizz like champagne, A thousand tiny bubbles fizz. Silver and golden bubbles shine. What is born? What comes out? [Verse 2] Flesh sinks into the sea, The flesh of the defeated god of the sky. His bloody symbol of war descends. What is born? What comes out? [Chorus] Flesh meets sea, Blood meets bubbles. From the tiny fizzy bubbles, Heavenly Beauty comes to earth. [Verse 3] Like a pearl born from an oyster, From something grisly, beauty grows. From blood and flesh beneath the waves, Something bright begins to glow. [Chorus] Flesh meets sea, Blood meets bubbles. From the tiny fizzy bubbles, Heavenly Beauty comes to earth. [Verse 4] “You miss your heaven?” The god of wind asks. “Your birth is celebrated, Yet your head is in the clouds.” [Verse 5] “No, my dear,” she replies. “I just think of what gave birth to me. It was full of hate and blood. Why was I born a goddess of beauty?” [Chorus] Flesh meets sea, Blood meets bubbles. From the tiny fizzy bubbles, Heavenly Beauty comes to earth. [Verse 6] “Forget it,” says the goddess of flowers, Wrapping her in a soft, smooth gown. “You are sent to bring beauty— Nothing more, nothing less.” [Verse 7] Seeing the seashore of Cyprus, Hearing the sound of gentle waves, A newborn goddess hides her skin, Trying to find beauty in her body. [Final Chorus] Flesh meets sea, Blood meets bubbles. From the tiny fizzy bubbles, Heavenly Beauty comes to earth.
