LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
Oh listen now, will ya heed my cry
Will ya hang on every line?
I sing of a seabed rife with souls
And the scars they left in mine

Well it’s hard days come on the Barren Sea
And it’s hard days yet to be
O’ the life we known
Only ash and bone
And a sundered memory

CHORUS 1:
Hark now, ye mariner!
Though there be no wave and swell
‘Cause a pirate born
From the life was torn
On The Day The Waters Fell

VERSE 2:
Well, the time is past when we set our sails
And we chased our merry haul
For a maw did grin under every prow
And she drank ‘em, one and all

Well, the earth did shriek like a thousand gales
And her hull did crack and skew
And the ones who went
Ere squall was spent
Were the lucky, by and true

CHORUS 2:
Hark now, ye mariner!
It’s a rendin’ tale we tell!
‘Cause ya can’t outrun
What the magic done
On The Day The Waters Fell

BRIDGE:
Then a shot rang true
In the thunderin’ blue
As the Cutlass cracked
And she spilled her crew
And her bow did bend
To a watery end
And likewise sunk, was I

VERSE 3:
While some were tossed from the screamin’ fire
We were dashed on wind and whim
We wrecked ashore, a shattered few
On the Alder’s broken rim

I’m sea dog born, ere the world was torn
Ever sea dog shall I be
With an iron will
If this land don’t kill
That a sailor lives in me

CHORUS 3:
Roar now, ye mariner!
May ya raise yer cutlass high!
‘Cause the sea don’t dwell
In a place so well
As the ire of you and I

Go now, ye mariner!
Though we sail a blasted hell!
We’ll make them bleed
For their horrid deed
On The Day The Waters Fell



This track is from some cut content that didn't make it into the final release of Wizard With A Gun!

Originally, the player would have been able to discover the shipwrecked remains of The Cutlass, a massive flagship that had been the heart of a matriarchal pirate society that used to rule the Barren Sea before the end of the world.

In the game's present day, the remains of that society have become Mage Hunters, seeking to destroy wizards like the player character and believing them to be responsible for the destruction of their way of life.

This song is meant to show how these pirates would've passed down their history, and told future generations about the day magical fissures opened up on the sea floor and devoured their people.

One of the sad things about gamedev is that sometimes content needs to be cut or reprioritized, and it leaves a lot of really cool stuff in limbo. Even though it never got used, I'm really proud of this track and of the incredible vocalists who put their incredible talents into it.
