Song lyrics

Send "Devil & The Deep Dark Ocean" ringtones to your cell

A snowy owl above the haunted waters
Poet of ancient gods
Cries to tell the neverending story
Prophecy of becoming floods

An aura of mystery surrounds her
The lady in brightest white
Soon the incarnate shall be born
The Creator of the Night

Deep dark is His Majesty's kingdom
A portent of tomorrow's world
There shall the liquid give Him power
The red-eyed unborn lord

Fatal embrace of the bloodred waters
The cradle of infinite gloom
The spell to master this Earth
Carven on an infant's tomb

I will die for the love of the mermaid
Her seduction beauty and scorn
Welcome to the end of your life
- Hail the Oceanborn!

Disgraced is my virginity
Death has woven my wedding dress
Oh Great Blue breathe the morning dew
For you are the cradle of the image of god

Brave now long rest is sweet
With me here in the deep

I prayed for pleasure wished for love
Prayed for your - 

Never pray for me!

Who the hell are you for me
But a mortal dream to see?

This apathetic life must drown
Forever just for me

Leave me be
Leave me be
Leave me be...ee...eeee

From cradle to coffin
Shall my wickedness be your passion

We shall come to set the dolphins free
We shall wash the darkened bloodred sea
Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
The eternity will begin once again in peace

55 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is the album's token 'i don't like' song. It is far too heavy and I don't like the goth metal vocals.

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree, it is weird, doest that make it art? Hmmmm.... Anyway, the bridge in this song is great. Tuomas may spend a tad too much time in the land of the midnight sun, but his songwriting skills are impeccable.

55 posts	I've actually changed my mind (as you do) I bleeding love this song! the genre takes ALOT of getting used to. This song is bizarre and operatic in style, but not very melodic at all. The man vocals are very Odd indeed- not grunting, growling, or screaming for that matter, which are the conventional metal singing styles, in fact he rather sounds like a Goa'uld. Which i'd be incline to say was deliberate as Tuomas has referenced to stargate before.
