She said that water had an even depth
where monsters lay
She said she knew they’d drag her to
her death beneath the spray
I feel so creatures would envelop her
she only knew
That die she would a tragic victim and
a martyr too

CHORUS:
Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided
By the sea

She said she had a feel the sea
would take her breath from her
It’s all pervading flow would fill
her lungs without a can
As useless limbs betrayed her weakened
might the ocean’s might
She’d slip away beneath the brook into
the endless night

CHORUS

I said I feared the blackness, feared
the things I couldn’t see
Of water black as ink, blackness to infinity
I guessed for hours with a fear
but with a longing too
To disappear completely and to live a life anew

CHORUS
