The Sea Lyrics

Silent people
the time is now
take your overs
and take your vows
For forty four years
they asked you dear
now forty five more
and now it's clear...
How much more can we take?
How much more til the bow breaks?
Silent people
it's time to go
take your children
and take your souls
For forty four years
they asked you dear
now forty five more
and now it's clear...
How much more can we take?
How much more til the bow breaks?
CHORUS-
From the land we come
but to the sea we'll go
through the falling tide
won't you take me there?
From the land we come
but to the sea we'll go
through the gales and storm
won't you take me there?
can you take me there?
Silent people
the time is here
sons and daughters
a mother's fear...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
