Beneath These Waves Lyrics
The ocean’s beauty
No longer moves my heart
It’s black and empty
My aim's so for a part
I’m madness maddened
Driven by the waves of hate
It’s him or me well
That’s in the hands of fate
Somewhere deep within
There is nothing left but trouble
And the longing for the sweetness of revenge
Somewhere deep within
Let revenge be mine
Come all you mast-heads
Come all you harpooners
Sing out for him, well
My order shall be clear
All you mast-headers
You’ve heard these words before
It’s your blood money
This broad bright ounce of gold
Somewhere deep within
I am forever Ahab
And this whole act is immutable decreed
Somewhere deep within
Let revenge be mine
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
There is one thing for sure
You’ll rise nevermore
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
Beneath these waves you’ll sleep
Somewhere deep within
There is nothing left but trouble
And the longing for the sweetness of revenge
Somewhere deep within
Vengeance shall be mine
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
There is one thing for sure
You’ll rise nevermore
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
Beneath these waves you’ll sleep
Beneath these waves you’ll sleep
No longer moves my heart
It’s black and empty
My aim's so for a part
I’m madness maddened
Driven by the waves of hate
It’s him or me well
That’s in the hands of fate
There is nothing left but trouble
And the longing for the sweetness of revenge
Somewhere deep within
Let revenge be mine
Come all you harpooners
Sing out for him, well
My order shall be clear
All you mast-headers
You’ve heard these words before
It’s your blood money
This broad bright ounce of gold
I am forever Ahab
And this whole act is immutable decreed
Somewhere deep within
Let revenge be mine
We’ll soon cross the line
There is one thing for sure
You’ll rise nevermore
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
Beneath these waves you’ll sleep
There is nothing left but trouble
And the longing for the sweetness of revenge
Somewhere deep within
Vengeance shall be mine
We’ll soon cross the line
There is one thing for sure
You’ll rise nevermore
A walk through the shadows
We’ll soon cross the line
Beneath these waves you’ll sleep

it's about moby-dick, and ahab's monomaniacal vengence.
Exactly. There's also two versions of this song, the only difference is one of them is shorter. Kick-ass song, anyway.
This is one awesome song. Its about Moby Dick and like raistlin said, its Ahab's maniacal vengeance to kill the great white whale known as moby dick.
It´s about Captain Ahab and his determination in killing Moby Dick. In the Dark Tower novels, Ahab´s quest is also used by his ka-tet as a metaphor for Roland Deschain´s quest in finding the Dark Tower, thereby tying in with the concept of this album.
