Lyrics The Arusha Accord - Nightmares of the Ocean

AS THE SHIP COMES CRASHING THROUGH THE STORM,
IT IS CLEAR THAT HE WILL BE NO MORE
LOST AT SEA, A FEAR TOO FAR FROM SHORE,
HOW LONG WILL THIS MAN ENDURE?

THE NIGHTMARES OF THE OCEAN
HE WILL NOT BE SAFE FROM
WHAT LURKS BENEATH THE SURFACE
DEEP BELOW THE UNKNOWN,
SHE DECIDES HIS FATE
SHEER TERROR AWAITS HIS END,
HE WILL NOT ESCAPE
THE LAST WORDS OF A TRAITOR, WORDS OF A BROKEN MAN, WILL NEVER BE HEARD
HIS SHIP IS TORN FROM BENEATH HIM AS IT IS CAST DOWN TO THE DEPTHS
HE FIGHTS TO STAY AFLOAT, AN OFFERING FROM THE CRUEL OCEAN
AS SHE AROSE HE BECAME PARALYZED, IN AWE OF ALL OF HER MIGHT
WITH JAWS WIDE AS A CAVERN AND TEETH LIKE KNIVES
HE WILTS BEFORE HER MIGHT AS IF DRAINED BY THE SUN
UPON WATERY GRAVES HE WILL KNEEL, UPON THESE GRAVES HE’LL SUCCUMB TO HER
HE SAYS HIS LAST GOODBYES THROUGH BLOOD SHOT EYES
CRIMSON RED STAINS THE TIDE
COMPELLED BY HIS CRIES, SHE CUTS DEEP THROUGH HIM AND CRUSH’S HIS SCREAMS
TO JUST A WHIMPER, HIS FLESH TASTES BITTER
BUT NO MATTER, STILL SHE WILL, WITH GREAT ENDEAVOUR, DEVOUR EVERY INCH
NOTHING LEFT TO FLOAT BUT BLOOD AND TEARS OF SHAME
HERE HE LAYS TO REST, HERE HE REMAINS
FOREVER REMAINS
HIS NIGHTMARE LIVES ON UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN
ON THE BED HE LIES, A RELIC OF THE OCEAN, FOREVER INSCRIBED, FOREVER FORGOTTEN
HIS DEMON DIES WITH HIM
THE NIGHTMARE WILL LIVE ON.
