The Greater Tide

I hear a memory upon the wind
A song of long forgotten men
Who lost their lives beneath the tide
And woke up on the other side
Come hear the tale and stand amazed at those who rest beneath the waves
Their minds were free
Their hearts were brave
They kept their promise to the grave

Some faced the sword
Some faced the rack
Some burned alive inside the flames
But heroes all
Both great and small
They proved their faith was not in vain

Those humble men
Those children dear
Beneath a crushing weight they cried
That saving name of him who comes bringing forth a greater tide
Come hear the tale and stand amazed at those who dance upon the waves
Their minds are new
Their hearts are safe
Upon that sea beyond the grave
