about

After the story ‘Vingt mille lieues sous les mers’ by Jules Verne (1869)

lyrics

Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers

A heart, pure and full of wonder
Turned cold and dark and wished to flee
To stay forever undiscovered
And remain hidden 20.000 leagues under the sea

The whispers of a monster roaming the sea
Lead many men to search for an answer offshore

But not all was what it seemed
For this cetacean was built of steel not bone
Commanded by a captain
Who'd left the world and had created his own

Despite the Captain’s riches
They couldn't lift his spirit, grave and dark
His manic hatred of oppression
Had left him with a heavy mark

Revealing treasures hidden to the orbs of night and day
Countless spectacles for the eyes to see
Uncovering secrets of the sunken world
But the Captain's heart remained a mystery

Grief deepens the sorrow of the Captain
When a loved one is taken once more
Igniting anger and desire
To revenge what’s been lost before

After his murderous act,
The angel of hatred is woebegone
No longer cares for the worldly things
And says farewell to the moon and sun

Grief deepens the sorrow
