"Prologue" lyrics

Shayfer James & Kate Douglas Lyrics

"Prologue"

Listen, listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet
Listen, listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

This is how the tide behaves
The water crests and sinks away
We're swept along an open sea
And we are drifting endlessly

The tide will rise, the tide will fall
And in the end, it takes us all
We try again to tell the story
Good and evil, hell and glory

Listen, listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet
Listen, listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

Cities built will fall to flood
And we will scrape them from the mud
The victors write our history
By conjuring the enemy

We're at the mercy of the swell
It beckons us and bids farewell
We build a cradle from our grave
And feel it rock, with every wave

Ebb and flow
The buildings go
The cities go
Ebb and flow
The kingdoms go
The empires go
Ebb and flow
The reasons go
The seasons go
Ebb and flow
The villains go
The heroes go
