Before eternal sleep

The giant rose his hands and tore

a serpent from the clouds

He put her to the ground where she slithered free

Where she touched the earth

The soil would give birth

the river queen, she grew

Pure and swift she roamed

Mighty and untamed the snake

Kissed the sea

First we named her goddess

We thanked her for the life she gave

But soon we would enslave her

Soon we would betray

Restraining her with dams

Feeding her our bile

We are raised on the illusion

That nature will submit

We contain her fiercest forces

No threat we can’t defeat

Usurpers claiming the throne

But it’s not ours to take

For a moment she kept silent

Any moment she will wake

Grey and fat she roams

Lazy and restrained the snake

Infects the sea

Still we’ll name her goddess

We’ll plead her for the lives she’ll take

Once more we will remember

Once more we will know

For a time she conformed

Now she’s turning vile

Pray for forgiveness

Praise the Serpent Queen

The river dragon has come

Souls wash away
