Tori Amos - Nautical Twilight lyrics

As the day gave way to nautical twilight
I turned my back on the force of which I knew
I abandoned it, rupturing a delicate balance
When I left my world for his

Day after day, as my city fades
And is swallowed by his sea
And she is boundless
Even breaking on the beach

Every alchemist knows fusion and fission
Can unify or drive a force to split
He has been possessed
To drink of the spices from the
East by his liquid mistress
Which then pushed me into the lair of uranium
She divides time between greed
And his twin tyranny

Day after day, cities are betrayed
And the earthy sons lay their blame


And she is boundless
But by then she has been frayed

As the night gives way to nautical dawn
I can see I must activate the
Force of which I am made
