Oceans from Earth by Celesterre

The propulsing streams, the wild waves
The abysmal maelstrom swirls
The sea quakes, ships find their graves
And screams of lost ones go unheard…

The world was yours, you braved the oceans
You held a high rank in human hierarchy
But without your men and your devices
The abominations of the deep dark sea await

Your last grip washed away by the ice cold, salty water
Down the ocean deep, into death
Where the fathomless cold dark depths gape

Oceans so wide
Oceans so deep

Where shoals of silvery fish
Rapidly change shape
Where corals spew plankton
Unnoted life forms turn out essential!

But you now will only contribute
To the growth and energy of your scavengers
Lost and obsolete on the ocean floor
Bioluminescent lights vaguely shine around you…

Your last grip washed away by the ice cold, salty water
Down the ocean deep, into death
A life ended where life once began

In the oceans so wide
Oceans so deep
Molluscs and worms downwards they creep
In the oceans so wide
Oceans so deep
