The sea has risen raging,
The people like a tide—
It hits the earth and heavens,
Breaks every wall it beckons,
And rolls with wrath and pride.
Can you see that stormy motion?
Can you hear that thunder roll?
If you've never known this notion,
Now you’ll feel that raw emotion
Of a rising, restless soul.
Now the big ships tumble over,
They’re sinking in her swell,
Down go mast and rigging,
No mercy, no forgiving—
She’ll drag them straight to hell.
Go on, unleash your fire,
Let the flood rage on and beat,
Show us all your darkness,
And toss your dirty madness
Like lightning at God’s feet.
So mark it, sky, forever—
Let no fool be misled:
Though ships ride high above it,
And men may try to govern,
It’s the water rules instead.
