lyrics
IV: Open Water
A tolling bell awakes me as the ship rolls through the night.
Is it just my tired mind or is this waking sight?
A man-o-war to port-side with her colours streaming red
Do I see with waking eyes the sea give up the dead?
Im no ship of the line
Is it steel? Is it sulphur?
Is it pain? Is it torture?
Is it war?
They have come. they have been here.
Beating drums, ever they steer for the shore
Just for the fame, just for the moment.
Batteries have opened up again.
Have you found an enemy or friend?
We all know where this is going to end.
Nothing but dust in your empty hands
Wisdom is calling to the simple; “Slay your foolish pride”
The apple must be given or the fruit will poison be
It is better to go hungry than to be hung on a tree
