about

Act III

The very heart of the album, "I am the Sea" represents the death of the Admiral. As he's drowning, he becomes one with the world around him and awakes from the dream of life, leaving the mind creation that was the Admiral dying in the bottom of the sea. He's then reborn into his true essence.

lyrics

I wanted love and passion
You say it’s just infatuation
I was on the highest high ever
But now the dream is over
My mind is swallowed by the sea

I fall down
And drown
I’m out
Of breath
I choke
To death
Goodbye
This is how I die
This is what it’s like
I feel the sense of grace
Like I’m a starry sky
The whole universe
Explodes like fireworks
I feel all the love
Coming from above
It’s a maelstrom
And I touch the bottom
I can see my atoms
Blending with the ocean
I’m a microcosm
Of the macrocosm

I’m not a drop of water in the ocean
I am the entire ocean in a drop
I am one with the ocean
One with the world
Life is an illusion
I am love itself
I am the sea
(Sea)

Everything is clear like water to me
Oh, all must die to be reborn, you see?
A new man is formed in my old body
I don’t need anyone now I am free
I can’t lose something I’ve never had
Maybe you will think that I’ve gone mad

I am the sea
I am the stars
I am the spark
Inside your heart
