[Verse 1]
Beneath the surface faults are stirring
And shifts occur
The body under pressure

[Chorus]
The rise and fall
Of ocean waters
Subducting or overriding plates
Create the wave
The rise and fall (Rise and fall)
Of civilizations
They are bred in ignorance of placement
Drown in the wave

[Verse 2]
Tempestuous and turbulent
The currents rip apart the world
The body swells and saunters
It conquers

[Chorus]
The rise and fall
Of ocean waters
Subducting or overriding plates
Create the wave
The rise and fall (Rise and fall)
Of civilizations
They are bred in ignorance of placement
Drown in the wave

[Guitar solo 2: Greg Burgess]

[Bridge]
Wiping out everything around its surroundings
Wiping out everyone found under the thundering
Crash In a flash, whipped and lashed by wind and water
Slaughtered by what once nurtured, caught in submergence
Painted by the colors of the currents

[Outro]
Drowned and gone
Lost in the ocean
Drowned and gone
Lost and forgotten
