The Sea

Green, green sea that kisses the horizon,
The crescent and the cross walk hand in hand.
Blue, blue skies to feast your eyes on
The wonders of the world are sketched in sand.

Lie down, lie; let the sun caress you,
People of the world in the heart of the beast.
Holiday to calm and rest you
What could ever drown your sleep in peace?

The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea.

Green, green sea that kisses the horizon,
The crescent and the cross walk hand in hand.
Blue, blue skies to feast your eyes on
The wonders of the world are sketched in sand.

The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea.

The crescent and the cross walk hand in hand
Hand in hand and hand.
Take a souvenir from the contraband
Of this promised land;

The sea, the sea, the sea, the sea.

Fight man fight to get to the shore
The crashing of the waves, the battling swell;
Bursting boats can't take any more
While the monsters in the deckchairs curse you to hell.

“Go home! Go home!
Go home to your war zone!”

Green, green sea that kisses the horizon,
The crescent and the cross walk hand in hand.
Blue, blue skies to feast your eyes on

The wonders of the world are built on sand.
