Interlude:
C D G Em
When this corpus christic isle became a landed ocean blue
C D
Again she cried, "You turned my eye"
G Em
At mentions of "no matter why"
(First phrase of Main Riff repeated for the rest of Interlude and First Chorus)
C D
And in the end an August sun
G Em
Of one by one it blew
C D
Until the devil screamed in the evermore
G Em
In envy of the grace we saw
G
The sound… (Chorus starts here making the rest of the Interlude lyrics unintelligible)

Chorus:
C D
Oh the heavy water, how it enfolds
G Em
The song, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
C D
Always, always, always the sea
G Em
Brilliantine mortality
C D
Oh the heavy water, how it enfolds
G Em
The song, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
C D
Always, always, always the sea

Brilliantine mortality

my approximations. Enjoy.
