Tidal Tale lyrics

Eons ago the sea was still

With no life in its somber stillness

Each day it would consult the sun

As to its unknown meaning

The sun was wise and told the sea

Be still, and keep to yourself

Be at peace with the land

But the sea heard not

One night while the sun rested

The sea asked the moon

To creep upon the land

In selfish greed

The moon pulled wildly

Upon the sea's strong arm

And it smashed upon the rocks

Cracking and smashing many of them

The next morning when the sun awoke

It looked upon the land

And found that the sea crept

Far beyond its limit

The sun was furious and exclaimed

"No more shall the sea sleep

In its peaceful bounds"

No more in silent slumber

"Now and forever you shall beat

Upon the land without pause

The moon shall bear the load

To bring you up each day

The land shall quell you

And you will toil within yourself

The moon will aid and guide you

Through darkest night

So to this day and beyond

The sea has not quelled

And the land has kept it back

The moon's tidal forces, eternal
