Tsunami
Eternal Embrace: Facing Love Amidst the Tsunami's Embrace
Lyrics
I will love you though I know how this will end
I am committed to loving you despite knowing the inevitable outcome.
Stand and take in the beauty as the wave is overhead
Witness and appreciate the beauty while a destructive force looms overhead.
Bathe in sunlight until we can't see it no more
Enjoy the sunlight until it disappears, indicating a sense of impending danger.
You reach for me while we hear the roar
You reach for me amid the sound of the approaching wave.
There's no place to run now
There is no escape route now.
If there was time once, it's gone now
If there was a chance before, it's now gone.
No cliffs to scale. No high ground to find
No escape routes or safe places to seek.
Just the mounting power we fear in our minds
We only have the growing fear in our minds of the impending disaster.
Stand with me my love
Stay with me, my love.
As we watch this wall of water above
Together, witness the approaching wall of water.
One last kiss before our lips turn blue
A final kiss before our demise.
One last dance before our limbs jut at angles anew
A final dance before our bodies contort in the chaos.
We are blown off our feet
We are overwhelmed and lose our footing.
Salty wall hits like a freight train
The impact of the wave hits forcefully, like a freight train.
There's no rhythm to this affair
No predictable pattern or calm in this disastrous event.
No moment of calm to come up for air
No moments of respite to catch our breath.
Cold shock slams through
A sudden cold shock runs through us.
There is no choice and nothing to do
We have no choice and no actions to take.
Our minds ache for oxygen
Desperation for oxygen as we are pulled into the abyss.
As we are pulled into oblivion, oh, oh
We succumb to oblivion.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of the experience.
Stand with me my love
Stay with me despite the impending catastrophe.
As we watch this wall of water above
Witness together the approaching wall of water.
One last kiss before our lips turn blue
A final kiss as our lives fade.
One last dance before our limbs jut at angles anew
A final dance before our bodies are twisted in new directions.
When the wall hits, Earth gives way
The impact of the wall causes the Earth to give way.
Until now she's kept this ocean at bay
Earth relinquishes control over the ocean, allowing chaos to unfold.
For time immemorial
Throughout history, the ocean's movements have been contained.
The tides have beckoned and called
The tides have called, and today Earth surrenders.
Today Earth gives up
Earth faces its downfall.
She's met her downfall
The catastrophic event marks Earth's defeat.
Alarms and sirens drowned out by the roar
Warning signals are drowned out by the roar of the disaster.
Silly plans we made are never more
Plans made in anticipation are rendered useless.
So why don't you stand with me my love
A plea to stand together in the face of impending doom.
As you watch this wall of water
Watch the approaching wall of water.
Watch it from above
Observe it from a perspective above, possibly indicating the aftermath or a transcendent view.
