    Oh mighty father from the deep, whose sacred oath we ever keep
    Who brings the bounties of the sea in answer to man's solemn plea
    oh grant that we may dwell one day
    Forever in Y'ha-nthlei
    Oh mother who with many arms enfolds and keeps us safe from harms
    Who knows the waters' ebb and flow with ancient wisdom from below
    oh grant that we may dwell one day
    Forever in Y'ha-nthlei
    Oh fearsome Deep Ones of the sea, to you we pledge our loyalty
    And hear this oath we ever make, our willing flesh is yours to take
    And thus we ever humbly pray
    to join you in Y'ha-nthlei.
    Ia!
    hmmm, it has a beat and you can dance to it.
