The Sea's Revenge

THE SEA'S REVENGE

By Thomas Hatfield
28th February 2007



As I rise from the depths;
Flying through the water;
As birds in the skies;
I feel the water rushing over me;
I am as free as the day I was born.

In the blackness of the deep;
In the cold of the abyss;
I make my way to the surface;
Every wing-beat brings me closer;
To the war against the land.

As the darkness breaks into light;
The canyons sink below me;
Ice is melting off the tips of my wings;
Now there is no going back;
The sea shall retake what is hers.

I see my comrade's breaking the abyss;
They will stand behind me in the fight;
Till death will we stand on our feet;
Never shall we live on our knees;
Being the slaves of the land-livers.

The sea begins to churn;
From the storm above the waves;
It strikes the land like artillery;
Giving them the sign of our coming;
Nothing will stand in our way.

As I glide along the sea floor;
It rises to meet the surface;
The children of the sea send us off;
Giving us their blessings;
Rape without revenge will not be tolerated.

Blood will spill tonight;
The rivers and the lakes;
The ponds and the seas;
The swamps and the bogs;
Will run red tonight.
The sea will always win;
All things came from the sea;
And to the sea all things return;
And upon this bloody night;
The sea shall claim her due.


Upon  this night;
Those who oppose her;
Shall feel the pain of a lifetime;
Through the water and the waves;
We carry on.

The tips of my wings break the surface;
I stand up and begin to march;
From the water and the waves;
I get first look at my foes;
They show the fear.

My foes flee from her anger;
They flee from her wrath;
They flee from her power;
They flee from what is coming;
And I am what is coming.

I tread through the floods;
My first victim comes toward me;
The Sword of Depths cuts him down;
And so the bloodshed begins;
Tonight the seas shall run red.

They fire again and again;
We kill again and again;
Live to fight;
Fight to live;
The mother shall take her due;

The destruction is vast;
The pillage is great;
The revenge is felt;
The fear is sent;
The power is redeemed.

Under a blackened sky I kill;
The rain pours down;
The lightning strikes;
The thunder claps;
And the blood flows.
I am a master of destruction;
We cross the enemy standards;
Reminding them of who they owe;
We leave the signs of our passing;
All through the night.


As the dawn approaches;
We retire to the waters;
Back to the lakes and seas;
Back to the rivers and streams;
Back to fight another night.

The fate of this world is sealed;
Every life shall be repaid;
Every trespass shall be relinquished;
Every theft will be relieved;
The sea shall have her revenge.
