Abalone Songtext
von Panthalassan

Raining, draining
To the sea
Waiting, waning
Come to me

Captivate and permeate
Your almond eyes encapsulate
A life of otherworldly pleasures that intoxicate
Nevermore my hope restored
You′re hiding on the ocean floor
I'll wait a lifetime for the moment
That you wash ashore again

A call on the air
Their hymns will draw you home
The salt in your hair
Reminds me of where you′re from


If you beckon me
I will drink up all the sea
And follow you into the deep
My lungs are assailed
And my skin becomes scale
It has come to this
My metamorphosis

Breeching, screeching
Hold fast
Hovering with hands unclasped
You're drifting just beyond my grasp
The gasp that slips my lips
A declaration of my trespass

The song in your heart
Is resonating
In my counterpart
And we're calibrating
Your lullaby trills
And I drift to sleep
Wrapped in the chill
Of your black rapture


Years go by and I′ve discerned
The more I know the less I′ve learned
The masses clutching to the coil
Are prisoners to flesh and soil
My conscience clean, I'm not concerned
If I have left this stone unturned
The dark domain beneath my fins
Is cerulean

Bowing to the urge
Of your otherworldly dirge
Persuading me to tracts submerged
If I had a voice
I′d be muted by choice
Deep in your abyss
My metamorphosis

The melody fades
The pressure closing in
To my dismay
I greet it like kin
Whoa

The die are cast, I understand
These hands will never touch dry land
The embers burn inside my soul
My throat is caught but heart is full
Embraced we stay as time unwinds
Our destinies are intertwined
I'm weightless in the ebb and flow
Suspended in the counterglow with you
