(Verse 1):
Beneath the silent surface, a thousand fathoms deep.
The Earth is showing tension, a secret it must keep.
Two plates are locked in battle, the Subduction is slow.
Pressure is bending, nowhere left to go.
Then the sudden slip, the ultimate release.
The vertical displacement finds a moment of peace.
The seafloor is springing, sending out the shock.
A column of water begins the deadly clock!
(Pre-Chorus):
The wave is born wide, deceptively low and flat.
Traveling fast across the ocean, faster than all that.
A jet plane's speed in motion, from the epicenter wide.
Impossible to outrun, nowhere left to hide!
(Chorus):
Tsunami!
From the horizon, the reckoning is here!
The energy is stacking, building walls of pure fear!
I am the ocean standing, defying all your charts.
My kinetic energy is tearing worlds apart!
The surge is overwhelming, the water starts to climb.
I am the ultimate force, defying space and time!
(Verse 2):
Deep ocean wave, barely a ripple, a long wavelength span.
You see it coming, too late to make a plan.
As I enter the Shallow Water, my speed starts to decrease.
But my height is growing, finding no release.
The ocean floor is pushing, all the volume must stack.
That energy is folding—there is no turning back.
This is the final warning, a signal you must read:
The horizontal drop is a symptom of my speed!
(Bridge):
Look at the shore now...
the water is draining away...
The reef is now exposed, beneath the light of day.
This massive Drawback is a vacuum I create,
The sea is retreating—don't mistake it for fate!
It's the warning!
The trough before the crest! Run now!
Test your speed against the rest!
(Chorus)
(Outro):
Energy released...
The wave keeps pushing...
Subduction complete.
