Maudlin of the Well The Ocean, the Kingdom, and the
Temptation Lyrics:
The rolling tide of a sea gone mad whispers in its
undine seductive lullabye. And I want the Lady
Sea's moist hands to cover me. The kingdom, and
its watery shades of most alluring blue invite me
in aquatic dreams to sleep inside her mighty womb.
The dry lungs of death shall burst in the misty
depths, shadowed. As I fall below the light of sun
and the drudgery of mankind's sins. The sea, it
calls unending to me. My sleep is hindered. The

burden to be had by me. The crushing weight of
maddening stage, the only delights in the arms of
sin, and my will to live is weakening. The sea
nymphs glide through courseless heaven, drawing me
through to the formless might and splendour of
castles glistening, the temples 'neath the
churning waves that ever haunt my dreams. I bade
farewell to the sun and stars and the wind that
calls in vernal song. For off I go to the land
below, and pray the liquid fills me more than the
air I so reluctantly share. Off to the kingdom
that's flooded my dreams and has been reflected in
my saddened tears.
