I can feel my time has come 
The ocean be my grave 
Reaching for the other side 
But left between these worlds 

My deepest fear and agony 
I’m dead, somehow alive. 
Like all that die in sunken land 
One day we must rise up 

Would you please remember me 
Since I never will return 
Won’t you please recall my name: 
Revenant of the Sea 

The Northern Sea, my purgatory 
Four generations long 
My descendants I’ll have to meet 
To lay down in their beds 

If you can feel or see my ghost 
Deep grief captures your soul 
Don’t touch me please nor fear my mien 
Release me from my pain 

As you believe, I become freer 
Salt footprints on your floor 
Will tell you that I be still there 
Till I return no more
