cruel, violent, manipulative
despite all my debaucheries
you are the tide that washes all my sins away
cleansing me, making me anew

harsh, piercing, heavy
slapping my unholy physique with
such great intensity
you are the tide that punishes me
teaching me with your unorthodox ways

purified as divine
avoiding temptations and all unkind
the tide will be my guide
the tide will be my hide
i summon thee, i summon thee
