Three women & the sea

She said that water had an even depth where monsters lay
She said she knew they'd drag her to her death beneath the spray
I feel so creatures would envelop her, she only knew
That die she would, a tragic victim and a martyr too

Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided
By the sea

She said she had a feel the sea would take her breath from her
It's all pervading flow would fill her lungs without a can
As useless limbs betrayed her weakened might the ocean's might
She'd slip away beneath the brook into the endless night

Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided
By the sea

I said I feared the blackness, feared the things I couldn't see
Of water black as ink, blackness to infinity
I guessed for hours with a fear but with a longing too
To disappear completely and to live a life anew

Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided

Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided
By the sea
