Lyrics
The Ocean Weeps
© March 8, 2014 Stan Loh. A song inspired by the legacy of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Verse 1
E
Tall waves brought the sands,
E
The death tides ate the banks,
E
Fish boats bounced some storeys high,
E
Now the fishers gamble with the fire,
A E
Cause there’s nothing, nothing they can do,
A E
Boats all empty, empty down there but blue,
Chorus
B7
And their nets are weighing stones,
B7
Of skeletons and bones,
E
The ocean weeps,
B7
And their fishes have all died,
B7
The world listens to lies,
E
The ocean weeps.
Verse 2
E
Ocean tears have made,
E
Pink corals turn to red,
E
And the anger of the water leaves barren tracks,
E
The Geiger Counter reads all black,
A E
Ashen toxins, lesions in the meat,
A E
Yet the Shogun, he claims all can eat,
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
E
Continents give up,
E
The trade winds in a cup,
E
The blue fin and salmon in thousands die,
E
Yet the TV and radio raced past a lie,
A E
We sit waiting, waiting for the doom,
A E
Hoping nothing, nothing at all but gloom,
Repeat Chorus
