Aegian Sea Lyrics
I saw the souls
I saw the martyrs
I heared them crying
I heared them shouting
they were dressed in white
they'd been told to wait.
The sun was black
the moon was red
the stars were falling
the earth was trembling.
And then a crowd
impossible to number
carrying palms
shouted amid
the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky...
They'll no more suffer
from hunger.
They'll no more suffer
from thirst.
I saw the martyrs
I heared them crying
I heared them shouting
they were dressed in white
they'd been told to wait.
the moon was red
the stars were falling
the earth was trembling.
impossible to number
carrying palms
shouted amid
the hotless sun
the lightless moon
the windless earth
the colourless sky...
from hunger.
They'll no more suffer
from thirst.

As with many of the songs on the album, much of it is taken from the biblical book of Revelation.
Specifically, in this case, chapters 6 and 7.
From Revelation chapter 6:
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.
10 They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?"
11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed.
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth
From Revelation chapter 7:
9 After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
16 Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst.
