The Sea King Lyrics
Sinking deeper beneath the waves
Mind now resigned, accepts his fate
Ancient alliance creeps into his thoughts
Unbid to him comes a rune once taught
The Sea King - has come to him
The Sea King - to save him
Unsure whether he's dreaming or dead
Seeing the face that his youth has bred
Slowly realizing that to him has come
His ancestors' ally, friend only to some
The Sea King - has come to him
The Sea King - to save him
He sees that now his life is safe
His foe Yrkoon has failed
The deed that was to finish him
Has come to no avail
The Sea King - has come to him
The Sea King - to save him
To his kingdom he is now bound
The sea around him is his shroud
Age old wisdom has set him free
So to realize his destiny
The Sea King - has come to him
The Sea King - to save him
