"You Are My Nautilus" lyrics

"You Are My Nautilus"

My greatest misadventure
Was my greatest test of all
Shipwrecked upon your verdant acres
In deep sirenic thrall

Near-drowned you found me and in time
Against the tide you saved this life

With eerie grace, impassive demeanour
Uncharted space, the place that had seen her
An island in the grip of the sea
My rock, a weapon, soon a beacon of peace

You are my Nautilus
The scourge of the abyss
Anchored in the universe
Adrift in utter bliss
You pave the way to heaven
You part the seismic waves
Amidst the depths of dark despair, you light the way
Immoral compass, come what may

The latest of adventures
Was the greatest of my fall
Unfathomable, the best endeavours
Saw my gravitas lose its all

Lose its all

I swam in shark-infested eyes
Deep pools of sin, death stars arrived

You are my Nautilus
The scourge of the abyss
Anchored in the universe
Adrift in utter bliss
You pave the way to heaven
You part the seismic waves
Amidst the depths of dark despair
You light the way
Immoral compass, come what may

Immoral compass, come what may...

To true north
Hyperborean estuaries
Once on from the bled horizon
Set the tethered Kraken free

When forlorn gales agitate the bed muck
Into swirls of fantasies
Storms above regale, and thunderstruck
Hurl away our enemies

Leagues ahead
Twenty thousand hissing in our wake
Together fed
Our war machine accelerates

Fates bow before me

Fates bow before me
In your embrace
Fates bow before me

Fates bow before me
In you encased
Fates bow before me

Fates bow before me
The world is braced
Fates bow before me

From sunken spires of Dunwich horror
To sleepy R'yleh
And deep aquatic gyres
To the lakes beneath the earth

Near-drowned you found me and in time
Against the tide you saved this life

Against the tide you braved this life

You are my Nautilus
The scourge of the abyss
Anchored in the universe
Adrift in utter bliss
You pave the way to heaven
You part the seismic waves
Amidst the depths of dark despair
You light the way
Immoral compass, come what may

Come what may...
Come what may...
