I call to the creatures of the deep.
Who dwell in the darkness beneath the waves.
In this blurred and eerie underwater world,
We float through the water in a baroque palace.
Come forth, creatures of the deep,
show us the secrets below the murky sea.

Vectors of change, the oceans are nonetheless ageless witnesses of a distant past, the primordial elixir of the first forms of life. elixir of the first forms of life.
