Lyrics for Into The Ocean

Can you feel the power of this vast, everlasting ocean world? Seas of blue, an infinite view– life without frontiers! Oh, I can smell the freedom of a life not ruled by mind-machines A boundless place, perpetual space, untouched by man (Or by machine!) Unblemished and pure; a paragon of perfection So calm and serene, forever A glorious view, oh I can't believe my eyes Our trek is complete, our goal is achieved We're alive... we're alive! We're going down into the ocean To bury the past We're going down into the ocean We're going down to the ocean, diving into the deep I believe this planet will give rise to a new humanity Immortal souls taking control, colonized by man (Not by machines!) I'll take us down; once we are in, there will be no way out We'll merge with this world forever Sustained by the Source, we'll explore the great unknown Our passage is done, our battle is won We'll make it out alive! We're going down into the ocean To bury the past We're going down into the ocean We're going down to the ocean To create a world down there beneath the seas! And soon our minds will meld; we'll share the dreams that we once held And soon our senses surge, a symbiosis will emerge And soon our souls unite, we'll be connected deep inside (Deep inside, so deep inside) And soon our thoughts will blend; we'll be as one– never end! For eons to come, we will thrive beneath these seas Our spirits seem free, forever But shadows will rise, they will steal our souls away Then a comet will fly, cleaving the skies To a world of tomorrow dreams! We're going down into the ocean To bury the past We're going down into the ocean We're going down to the ocean To create a world down there beneath the seas And soon our minds will meld; we'll share the dreams that we once held And soon our senses surge, a symbiosis will emerge And soon our souls unite; we'll be connected deep inside And soon our thoughts will blend; we'll be as a one, never end!
