Prof. Arronax' Descent Into the Vast Oceans lyrics

Breathe Reverse the engines Breathe Iron tidal wave Breathe Breaking the lashing Breathe My mouth fills with water Fills with water A glimpse of a black mass It disappears in the east I've seen I've seen the antediluvian beast Within the great depth of the ocean Hadopelagic, entirely unknown Below the surface Strange motion Water-soaked clothes Heavy like stone Heavy like stone Metallic isle rising Strong engine's drone What marvellous beings inhabit these strata What life forms do dwell in those depths Alas, how I longed to marvel at these creatures And yes I know if I leave it means death Civilized people abandoned me Alas, I'm not, I am not to blame I bow alone to Mother Sea and Nemo is my name
