Prof. Arronax' Descent Into the Vast Oceans

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
