As I glance once upon the foam
Forty feet beneath my feet
The coldest calm falls
Through the molten veins
Cooling all the blood to slush
Congeals around again

Oh, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Oh, and forty feet remain

Salt scales upon my drying arms
Burn my back beneath the sun
But I am cold beneath the burning rays
Looking down, looking down, down, down again

Oh, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la
Oh, and forty feet remain

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Oh, and forty feet remain
