Watershed Lyrics
while you were building your empires
I was still sleeping
I was still sleeping
while you were setting your woods afire
I was still dreaming
I was still dreaming
now I will unsettle the ground beneath you
send my waters ashore
creep into your bed
find you in every corner
while you argue it over
I am not waiting
I am not waiting
while you retreat to your comforts
I am not fading
I am not fading
I’ve done this many times before you
old Shanghai
New Orleans
Amsterdam and Mumbai
strange new creatures
to scavenge your pores
oh I’ve done this many times before you
ashen sky
lightning storms
deltas to desert plains
wartime on every border
I’ve done this many times before you
watched the pattern take form
children your time is done
if you say it’s done together
I was still sleeping
I was still sleeping
while you were setting your woods afire
I was still dreaming
I was still dreaming
send my waters ashore
creep into your bed
find you in every corner
I am not waiting
I am not waiting
while you retreat to your comforts
I am not fading
I am not fading
old Shanghai
New Orleans
Amsterdam and Mumbai
strange new creatures
to scavenge your pores
oh I’ve done this many times before you
ashen sky
lightning storms
deltas to desert plains
wartime on every border
watched the pattern take form
children your time is done
if you say it’s done together

This is the prettiest song about Cthulhu I've ever heard.
This is the other side of "Pontchartrain" --- the might of the ocean.
I think it's more from (a) God's view. Replace 'I' for God and it all becomes clear to me.

Vienna Teng dedicated this song to Jared Diamond, a scientific skeptic. I don't think it was in a mocking way either --- he writes historical books and no doubt the sea features in some of them.

Sheela is right, Vienna said as much at the last show I saw her at.
