Flesh of the Earth, Child of the Sea Lyrics


I found my calling in the deep

A sacred promise I shall keep

From the depths long forgotten

I will take up the shield and sword

I will face the Tyrant’s hordes

End the war he has begotten

The gift of life came from the sea

Breathed into us clay figurines

I must return the favor

Feeling the Goddess shaping me

So I may destroy her enemies

Becoming something greater

The world at the mercy of my sword

I undertake this vow to go forth

I become the slayer of a thousand red-eyed serpents

I am the chosen one to save us all

So as the oceans rage

And as the Tyrant reigns

I undergo the change

I close my eyes and wait

Her magic through my veins

I feel it take hold

Bequeathed the gift to draw breath underwater

My right arm traded for a tasseled sword

The body honed to aquatic precision

A trinity of machine, man, and god, made for war

The ocean floor trembles with my arrival

I point my sword at the ground below

Caretakers rise from blackest of trenches

Armed to the teeth and ready to go

Slay them all, tyrants fall

Mount up on your steeds and charge

Go!

The world at the mercy of my sword

I undertake this vow to go forth

I have found my place between the cosmos and the roaring sea

I am the chosen one and resurrector of the gods

Rising from clay, born of the sea

Imbued with magic, divine energy

Caretakers rise, bend to my call

I am triumphant, for one, for all

This war shall end by my sacred hand

Strike the blow for humankind

Peace throughout the land
