lyrics

The noise of the fishing and Oil industry reverberated along the sea bed and filled the water with strange vibrations.
The water was dirty, overflowing with the taste and spoil of mankind.
They turned Northeast for a while, drawn by their appetites, and curiosity towards the noise.
Chasing shrimps and eels in the dark, deep, cold water.
Travelling beneath the sea’s traffic of fishing trawlers and oil rig supply ships.
The rigs filled the water with constant humming and rumbling.
He followed the family through the maze of rigs and pipes that made the plundering steel continent.
Here they were constantly being attacked by the seals and porbeagle sharks that sulked beneath the steel cities.
Again, Stanley found his time in the river had prepared his body well.
The swell of the North Sea added to his speed, billions of gallons of water rising and falling sometimes moving hundreds of feet in seconds.
Out here, the water offered no resistance at all, and with the lift of the great swell he could easily outrun the seals and sharks.
They swam between the divers that worked beneath the rigs.
The Light and sparks from their welding torches threw arcs of illuminating green light into the darkness.
Curiosity drew him to the men and he found himself looking for signs of recognition, from the faces beneath the helmets and masks.
But they ignored him and carried on working, ignorant of the miracle he had been a party to.
Always North, into colder, deeper water they journeyed on.
Eventually, they turned West,, out towards the great Atlantic Ocean.
