In a mysterious seaside city
All that's been built by man shall perish
Beneath the water, something's hidden
Beyond a mortal comprehension
The eyes of living do not wander
Among the groves, the rocks, the clouds
You shall avert your eyes in shame
For all you look at, it looks back
As trees push up, the man-flesh rots
Their roots dig down while buildings crumble
The waves all roar and crash ashore
They pick your bones a ghastly white
The sea-bound secret stays untouched
It guards itself in its great power
What rests beneath can't be described
No man has seen the ancient horror
I have walked there, in solitude
Leaving no footprints in the sand
I dreamt of walking next to you
Your flesh is heavy with ambitions
