When the sea and sky meet.

On the day that the sea and the sky would meet
We packed up our things
Keeping light on our feet
On the day that the sea would meet with the sky
We watched the clouds battle
And the waning moon died
On the day that the sky came to meet with the sea
All the kings and their slaves
They all had to flee
Kings thrown up and off
Their great jeweled seats
On the day that the sea and the sky would meet

At the place where the sky and the sea would meet
All the dead men rose up
Forming into great fleets
At the place where the sea would meet with the sky
To do battle beneath
The great watchful eye
At the place where the sky came to meet with the sea
All brothers stopped working
Harmoniously
Filled with hatred and shame
Devoid of all heat
O, this place where the sky and the sea would meet

We watched it all happen
When the sea and the sky
Rose up to each other
And everything died
We ran to the shore
Of the sky and the sea
But the dust never settled
No, not completely
