We see the rising tide that was built up over years
They created it, then left it to us as they ran in fear
We raise our hands and brace ourselves as it flies like a rocket
We can try to slow it down, but we know we can't stop it
Neglect over years caused us to lose the control
That kept the tides at bay; that monitored their flow
And now nobody's safe, and now everybody knows
That the Forbidding Sea will swallow us whole
We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs
But problems left alone will build up over time
And eventually we will be consumed by the tide
We try to right the wrongs, but we can't undo the past
All that we can do now is try our best to make us last
And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
Before it was too late, before we ran out of time.
We saw our demise, then the errors of our ways
We told ourselves lies, said it wasn't our mistake
We blamed it on the past, said they're the ones who sent it
But at the same time, we did nothing to prevent it
Nobody's innocent; we all fed the beast
And now nobody's safe from the Forbidding Sea
I'm not even innocent; I know of my mistakes
And when judgement day comes, I'll know of my fate
We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs
But problems left alone will build up over time
And eventually we will be consumed by the tide
We try to right the wrongs, but we can't undo the past
All that we can do now is try our best to make us last
And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
Before it was too late, before we ran out of time.
Run to your home and hide
Pray to whatever god you obey
Ask for forgiveness, ask to be saved
You can delay, but you can't escape fate.
RUN to your home and hide
PRAY to whatever god you obey
ASK for forgiveness, ASK to be saved
YOU can DELAY, but you can't ESCAPE
We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs

And eventually we will be consumed by the tide
We try to right the wrongs, but we can't undo the past
All that we can do now is try our best to make us last
And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
Before it was too late, before we ran out of time.
We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs
But problems left alone built up over time
And eventually, we were consumed by the tide
We tried to right the wrongs, but couldn't undo the past
All that we can do now is let the Sea come at last
And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
Before it was too late, before we all died.
