She said the water had a hidden depth where monsters lay
She said she knew they'd drag her to death beneath the spray
What fearsome creatures would envelope her, she only knew
But die she would, a tragic victim and a martyr too.
Sister united, sisters divided by the sea
She said she had a fear the sea would take her breath from her
It's all-pervading flow would fill her lungs without a care
As useless limbs betray her weakened by the ocean's might
She'd slip away beneath the blue into the endless night
Sisters united, sisters divided by the sea
I said I feared the blackness feared the things I couldn't see
Of water black as in, a blackness to infinity
I'd gaze for hours with a fear but with a longing too
To disappear completely and to live a life anew
Sisters united, sisters divided by the sea.
