Lord of the Oceans Songtext
von Carmen Consoli

Lord of the oceans
What is your demolition strategy today?
Lord of the oceans
I hope you don′t mind?
But I'm planning my great escape

You should be delighted
To see me as grains of sand among the remains
Of your marvelous tower of strength
I was the queen of nothing
Washed up with the last wave
Weary, heartless, but finally safe

And I congratulate you for losing your faith in me
But you′re terribly sorry and I don't understand
Why you've even started fearing yourself?


Lord of the oceans
Make amends as you try
To redeem your self-esteem
Lord of the oceans
I hope you don′t mind
If I bid you my last farewell?

You should be delighted
To see me as grains of sand among the remains
Of your marvelous tower of strength
I was the queen of nothing

And I congratulate you for losing your faith in me
But you′re terribly sorry and I don't understand
Why you′ve even started fearing yourself?
And I congratulate you for losing your faith in me
But you're terribly sorry and I don′t understand
Why you've even started fearing yourself?

Lord of the oceans
I hope you don′t mind?
But I'm planning my great escape
