Fall apart, O mighty sea

Drain away into the ground

Close up, all around me

like Ixion

in Tartarus

Empty all into the ground

Break away without a sound

Marathon in Peloponnese

Draw together, O distant shores

Bind as one, from miles far

Every pier and every moor

and marina

across the sea

All as one, from miles far

From furthest port, to nearest tarn

Will you be here evermore
