Once set towards glory 

Mere men of earth

Sent to destroy the monster below the surf

Swept all away as her sister took hold

Sank beneath the waves their stories foretold

Met men of mystery 

Machines of steel

They'd been watching waiting 

The waves did conceal

Prisoners were oh these foolish men of earth

But rewarded they were 

With knowledge and thought

Fattened their minds as all men ought 

They saw wonder beyond wonder

Sights beyond sight

Discovered discoveries where there is no light

Till the captains head raised and taste of the wind 

There was a storm coming straight and it rallied for sin 

They battled all day 

Yes all day and all night

Until marrow showed her beautiful light

And after it ended and they returned home

Strong still was their love for the sea, 

the world beneath foam.
