There’s this Dead Can Dance lyric in “Children of the Sun,”

We came from the ocean
Once our ancestral home
So that one day
We could all return
To our birthright
The great celestial dome

...but why would I want to go to the stars if I could return to the ocean? Guess I’m not really a child of the sun.

When the waters rose
In the darkness
In the wake of the endless flood
It flowed into our memory
It flowed into our blood

When something broke the surface
Just to see the starry dome
We still feel that relation
When the water takes us home
In the flying spray of the ocean
The water takes you home, water takes you home
