Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald jewels<br>
There lie the broken spines of seven ships
There lie the broken spines of seven ships<br>
 
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold<br>
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold
Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips<br>
 
<br>
Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips
I am the king of all of you see<br>
 
The timid land<br>
 
The unknown sea<br>
 
And all that lies between<br>
I am the king of all of you see
<br>
 
So then come away, you frail of breath<br>
The timid land
You feeling tired of life<br>
 
You scared to death<br>
The unknown sea
You stain the air with your half-hearted wit<br>
 
A few steps more will make an end of it<br>
And all that lies between
<br>
 
I am the king of all of you see<br>
 
The timid land<br>
 
The unknown sea<br>
So then come away, you frail of breath
And all that lies between<br>
 
<br>
You feeling tired of life
She'll wander on a strand of dying light<br>
 
She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers<br>
You scared to death
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight<br>
 
May grace the throat of those the ocean spares<br>
You stain the air with your half-hearted wit
<br>
 
I am the king of all of you see<br>
A few steps more will make an end of it
The timid land<br>
 
The unknown sea<br>
 
And all that lies<br>
 
And all that lies<br>
I am the king of all of you see
And all that lies between<br>
 
The timid land
 
The unknown sea
 
And all that lies between
 
 
 
She'll wander on a strand of dying light
 
She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers
 
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight
 
May grace the throat of those the ocean spares
 
 
 
I am the king of all of you see
 
The timid land
 
The unknown sea
 
And all that lies
 
And all that lies
 
And all that lies between

lyrics for
King Of The Unknown Sea

Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald jewels
There lie the broken spines of seven ships
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold
Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips

I am the king of all of you see
The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies between

So then come away, you frail of breath
You feeling tired of life
You scared to death
You stain the air with your half-hearted wit
A few steps more will make an end of it

I am the king of all of you see
The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies between

She'll wander on a strand of dying light
She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight
May grace the throat of those the ocean spares

I am the king of all of you see
The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies
And all that lies
And all that lies between
