[Lyric] Prologue (The Ninth Hour Musical)

[Intro: Shayfer James & Kate Douglass]
Listen
Listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

Listen
Listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

[Verse 1: Kate Douglass]
This is how the tide behaves
The water crests and sinks away
We're swept along an open sea
And we're all drifting endlessly

[Verse 2: Shayfer James]
The tide will rise
The tide will fall
And in the end
It takes us all
We try again to tell the story
Good and evil
Hell and glory
[Chorus: Shayfer James & Kate Douglass]
Listen
Listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

Listen
Listen to the sea
Feel the water at your feet

[Verse 3: Kate Douglass]
Cities built will fall to flood
And we will scrap them from the mud
The victors write our history
By conjuring the enemy

[Verse 4: Shayfer James]
We're at the mercy of the swell
It beckons us and bids farewell
We build a cradle from our grave
And feel it rock with every wave

[Outro: Shayfer James & Kate Douglass]
Oh, ebb and flow
The buildings go
The cities go
Ebb and flow
The kingdoms go
The empires go

Ebb and flow
The reasons go
The seasons go

Ebb and flow
The villains go
The heroes go
