• We see the rising tide that was built up over years
    They created it, then left it to us as they ran in fear
    We raise our hands and brace ourselves as it flies like a rocket
    We can try to slow it down, but we know we can't stop it
    Neglect over years caused us to lose the control
    That kept the tides at bay; that monitored their flow
    And now nobody's safe, and now everybody knows
    That the Forbidding Sea will swallow us whole

    We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
    Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs
    But problems left alone will build up over time
    And eventually we will be consumed by the tide
    We try to right the wrongs, but we can't undo the past
    All that we can do now is try our best to make us last
    And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
    Before it was too late, before we ran out of time.

    We saw our demise, then the errors of our ways
    We told ourselves lies, said it wasn't our mistake
    We blamed it on the past, said they're the ones who sent it
    But at the same time, we did nothing to prevent it
    Nobody's innocent; we all fed the beast
    And now nobody's safe from the Forbidding Sea
    I'm not even innocent; I know of my mistakes
    And when judgement day comes, I'll know of my fate

    We turned our backs and thought everything was fine
    Shrugged our shoulders when we started seeing signs
    But problems left alone will build up over time
    And eventually we will be consumed by the tide
    We try to right the wrongs, but we can't undo the past
    All that we can do now is try our best to make us last
    And nobody's innocent, because nobody tried
    Before it was too late, before we ran out of time.

    Run to your home and hide
    Pray to whatever god you obey
    Ask for forgiveness, ask to be saved
    You can delay, but you can't escape fate.
