Interlude:
CDGEm
When this corpus christic isle became a landed ocean blue

At mentions of "no matter why"
(First phrase of Main Riff repeated for the rest of Interlude and First Chorus)
CD
And in the end an August sun
GEm
Of one by one it blew
CD
Until the devil screamed in the evermore
GEm
In envy of the grace we saw
G
The sound… (Chorus starts here making the rest of the Interlude lyrics unintelligible)
Chorus:

Oh the heavy water, how it enfolds

The song, the spray, the gorgeous undertow

Always, always, always the sea
