Black Coral

Have you ever been down deep?

I mean way down under the ocean

Just inside Odin's reach

Better beware of this potion

And remember you don't belong

It always seemed so unfair

The fishes around will always remind you

Got to go slow, take it easy down there

You've only so much air

When you get a little deeper

If you slow down you might keep her

The sea, unforgiving and she's hard

But she'll make love to you

Show you glimpses of the stars

At about two hundred feet

You realize the peril

But seductive is the deep

That shark over there holds no terror

For a while you really belong

The ocean will always share

You become one like friends and lovers

But remember, take care, she'll try to keep you there

The deeper you go

'Cause of the pressure of the air

The nitrogen comes and goes, gets you high

It's an alien atmosphere

They call it rapture of the deep, be you not afraid

You're too far down by now to be scared

Two hundred and eighty-seven feet

I saw Jesus and it made sense that He was there

So belong but don't be long

There's plenty of ocean to share

Please take heed, there's mouths to feed

The ocean, she'll provide

Don't take more than you need

'Cause Heaven just might be the sea
