A snowy owl above the haunted waters,
poet of ancient Gods!
Cries to tell the neverending story,
prophecy of becoming floods!

An aura of mystery surrounds her,
the lady in brightest white.
Soon the incarnate shall be born,
the creator of the night.

Deep dark is His Majesty's Kingdom,
a portent of tomorrow's world.
There shall the liquid give Him power,
the red-eyed unborn Lord.

Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters,
the cradle of infinite gloom.
The spell to master this earth,
carven on an infant's tomb.

"I will die for the love of the mermaid,
her seduction beauty and scorn.
Welcome to the end of your life,
hail the Oceanborn!"

"Disgraced is my virginity,
Death has woven my wedding dress.
Oh Great Blue, breathe the morning dew,
for you are the cradle of the image of God!"

"Brave now, long rest is sweet
with me here in the deep!"

"I prayed for pleasure,
wished for love.
Prayed for your..."

"Never pray for me!"

"Who the Hell are you for me,
but a mortal dream to see?"

"This apathetic life must drown,
forever, just for me!"

"Leave me be..."

"From cradle to coffin
shall my wickedness be your passion!"

We shall come to set the dolphins free,
we shall wash the darkened bloodred sea.
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas,
the eternity will begin once again in peace.
