about

Watch the "Ocean's Children" music video: youtu.be/OnZkdQzkQgs
filmed in Arizona and New York City

This song's harmonic structure is based on a chant by Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century Benedictine nun.

lyrics

dreams bite
dreams bite
dreams bite
dreams bite

the oceans and their children
drown on the shores of nations
floating, I see
the people of silver
drawing in their nets
to drink the earth
dry with thirst

while on the borders of love,
we can’t fall asleep
you can’t hide above
on the edge of time
on the edge of time
running out of dreams
on the edge of time

forms without function
toiling over phantoms
guided to string our dreams
in patchworks of pictures
time to shake it off
and see what’s real:
blood & oil

while flowing through tangled veins,
we can’t fall asleep
you can’t hide above
running out of dreams

when we are all saltwater
at once with the darkest depths
flying, I move through time
and living is changing
struggling to breathe
and hungry means
never –

while on the open swells of space
the makers of light
are sculpting their own children
into effigies of war
