A long time ago, a messenger came

Sailing into the shore

Of our island

He said, you’re sinking soon

But I’ll lend you a hand

And help you move

From your island

You have to see

This place is gonna be

Only a memory

Beneath the sea

But you can come with me…

So we took all we could carry

And went aboard the ships

Downcast eyes, and troubled minds

And trembling lips

As the distance grew, with sailing away

from our abandoned home

It sank into the sea, like a dread preview

Of what was to come

What had been the world to me

Was going to be

Only a memory

Beneath the sea

Now I sit here and wonder

But her face is hard to read

What would be if we stayed, back then

Would we drown, or would we breathe

These unfamiliar surroundings

Will never feel like home

The ocean breeze is the only thing

I feel that I know

The sun sets, into the sea

Will it shed some light

On a memory

What was the world to me

Will always be

Only a memory

Beneath the sea
