Wind and Waves Songtext
von Shadow Academy

The spirit of the sea
Wells up inside of me
To breathe life from my heart into my hands

A swirling mystery
Melts all my memories
Dissolving in our hands where it began
Are we damned lucky or are we just the damned?

The wind and the waves below
The angel′s flown too low
The ocean starts to glow

There is no compromise
No acting civilized
Down here it's just silence and the sand

Are we among the stars
Or held in prison bars?
Nothing ever goes the way we planned
Are we the slaughter or are we just the lamb?


The wind and the waves below
The angel′s flown too low
The ocean starts to glow

In the underwater forest
Nature sings a gentle chorus
Starry-eyed reflections of the moon

Whispered tales of better days
The sea floor makes a quiet grave
For memories of a world we left too soon

Shielded from the endless years
Where coral hangs like chandeliers
An open clear abyss of liquid light

We pass on through the prism night
Luminous dust in my eyes
All knowing that the time has come to rise

When does it all end
The flame of my life
When does it all end
The arc of our dive
When does it all end
The fullness of time


Not today
Not today
Not today!

The wind and the waves below
The angel's flown too low
The ocean starts to glow

(We're not alone)
(We′re not alone)
(We′re not alone)
(We're not alone)
