Hooray, I awake from yesterday   Alive, but the war was here to stay   And so, my love Catharina an me   Decide to take a last walk   Through the noise to the sea   Not to die, but to be reborn   Away from the land so battered an torn   Forever, aahh, forever      Oh, say, can you see, it's really such a mess   Every inch of earth is a fighting mess   Giant pencil and lipstick tube shape things   Continue to rain and they cause screaming pain   And the artist stains from silver blue to bloody red   As the big fine sandy sea   Is straight ahead, straight ahead      Well it's too bad, that our friends   Can't be with us today   "The machines that we've built   Will never save us", that's what they say   (That's why they ain't coming with us today)   And they say that it's impossible   For man to live and breathe underwater   Forever was a main complaint   (And they also threw this in my face)   They say anyway, it would be   Beyond the will of God and the grace of the king      So my darling and I make love   In the sand to salute the last part   Of our journey's end   Our machine has done it's part of work   With a scratch of the bottle and we bid it farewell   Giant stars and moonbeams greet us with a smile   Before we get going we take a last look   And they didn't know us    While the artists die. the artists die...      So down and down and down and down    And down and down we go   Hurry, my darling we mustn't be late for the show   Neptune champion games to an aqua world   That's so very near   Right this way smiles have earned me   I can hear that man ist full of cheer   That man is full of cheer...
