about
A descent into the abyss of an exiled prince who becomes one with the sea, and his harnessing of her power against those who betrayed him. Based on Jules Verne's legendary antihero in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo.
lyrics
I'm the rage of the ocean, the judgment of man
My justice is swift, and time is my friend
No flag
No creed
I lurk in dark waters, in silence I wait
Wait for the moment that will seal my fate
The ancient depths changed my mind
Haunted by dreams of my former life
No king
No queen
I lurk in dark waters, in silence I wait
Wait for the moment that will seal your fate
[bass break]
Collision speed!
I... Am... The Law!
I... Am... The Judge!
I... Am... The Sword!
I... Am... No One!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... Free!
My justice is swift, and time is my friend
No flag
No creed
I lurk in dark waters, in silence I wait
Wait for the moment that will seal my fate
The ancient depths changed my mind
Haunted by dreams of my former life
No king
No queen
I lurk in dark waters, in silence I wait
Wait for the moment that will seal your fate
[bass break]
Collision speed!
I... Am... The Law!
I... Am... The Judge!
I... Am... The Sword!
I... Am... No One!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... The Sea!
I... Am... Free!
