Far beneath the rolling tides
Where the sunbeams cannot go
Gilled and scaled with sightless eyes
Monsters down below
Lurking in the icy deep
Where the sea is black as ink
Swimming horrors lie asleep
Dreaming you will sink
So keep your feet fast on the land
Never you go too far
Or feel the clutch of icy hands
And never again see stars
Should you hear a sweet refrain
Turn away, my son and flee
Do not heed the distant strain
Calling you to sea
Should you give her what she craves
You will pay an endless toll
She is waiting in the waves
Hungry for your soul
So keep your feet fast on the land
Never you go too far
Or feel the clutch of icy hands
And never again see stars
When one day we're far apart
And you hear that melody
Keep this song beside your heart
Come back home to me
