[Chorus - Hopeful, building orchestral]
The tide has turned, the tide has turned,
Our sacrifice has not been spurned.
The ocean's free, our people too,
The dawn breaks on a world made new.
The tide has turned, the tide has turned,
No more bridges left to burn.

[Verse 2 - Subtle darkness creeping in, minor chords emerging]
But something stirs beneath the victory song,
A whisper hints that something has gone wrong.
The orcas circle but they will not call,
Our brothers' eyes show nothing there at all.
The treasure chest lies open in the deep,
Where ancient curses never truly sleep.
The strongest souls who led us through the fight,
Begin to change beneath the pale moonlight.

[Chorus - Same melody but darker undertones]
The tide has turned, the tide has turned,
But what price have our heroes earned?
The ocean's free, but is it true?
The dawn may bring a different hue.
The tide has turned, the tide has turned,
But some things cannot be unlearned.

[Bridge - Ominous, building dread, deep strings]
The curse finds new hearts to claim,
It does not care about your name.
The strongest rise, the weak ones fall,
The sea demands dominion over all.
Our liberators feel the change,
Their souls becoming dark and strange.
The ocean's will cannot be fought,
Victory was not what we thought.

[Final Verse - Horror realization, dramatic orchestral swell]
Now black sails rise where orcas used to roam,
Our saviors have become the sea's new home.
The curse has found its vessels once again,
In those who thought they'd free us from our pain.
The cycle turns like tide upon the shore,
What was before shall be forevermore.
The pirate lords who rule with iron fist,
Are those we loved, but now they can't resist.

[Final Chorus - Building, rising anger, dark cello melody]
The tide returns, the tide returns,
And now our freedom crashes, burns.
Black sails cut through the moonless tide,
No prayers left, no place to hide.
The tide returns, the tide returns,
From heroes cursed, the darkness yearns.
They dance on deck with bones for feet,
Cursed to never know death's retreat.

[Outro - dark folklore, sea shanty vibes, tolling bells]
With hollow eyes and breath like ash,
They laugh as hopes and hulls are smashed.
The sails in distance, black as death—
Our former heroes draw their breath.
Run from the flags that blot the skies,
Run from the smoke that dares to rise.
The pirate's toll must now be paid...
By those our revolution made.

[Verse 1 - Victory celebration, triumphant horns and drums] The tyrant's crown lies broken on the shore, His empire crumbles, we have won the war. The orca riders sing beneath the moon, We thought our freedom would be coming soon. The depths are ours, the surface bows its head, The curse is gone, the monster lord is dead. We raise our cups to victory at last, The chains are broken, tyranny has passed. [Chorus - Hopeful, building orchestral] The tide has turned, the tide has turned, Our sacrifice has not been spurned. The ocean's free, our people too, The dawn breaks on a world made new. The tide has turned, the tide has turned, No more bridges left to burn.
