The Water Remembers - An Aboleth Song | Dungeons and Dragons

Born anew yet never new, One fold in memory with no seam, That stood at the cradle of the first black pool And keeps every hour still in dream. Hush. The water remembers still. It remembers 'fore the stars were lit. Every ripple in the mind With memory older than time. A tide inside the bones of your thoughts, A salt-sweet voice, so near, so near. It knows the shape of what you want Before you've named it to yourself. Now the fishermen walk into the surf With their eyes gone calm and wide, And the lamps burn low in the harbor On the turning of the tide. Hush. The water remembers still. It remembers 'fore the stars were lit. Every ripple in the mind With memory older than time. Once there were cities under the swell, All spiral, slime, and spire, Till the gods sent their leviathans To destroy all with their ire. But you cannot drown a memory, And you cannot burn the tide, And the gods who tried to end it, Learned how long the deep can bide. Hush. The water remembers still. It remembers 'fore the stars were lit. Every ripple in the mind With memory older than time. Hush. The water remembers still. It remembers 'fore the stars were lit. Every ripple in the mind With memory that'll outlast time.
