Modern man
He's at it again
He's building a ship
I hope you can swim
So long to the innocence of yesterday
Like ships sinking fast it's all gone away
Along with the wonder of everything
Drowning drunk in towns of bible
We've burned all the wings of our guardian angels
Then thanked them for the ride
Now all that remains are these stray streets of rubble
People starving for love waging war over trash
There are no more laughs just this sullen old raft
Slowly drifting through the harbor
Paralyzed in wonder by the words that she said
You weren't big hearted you just had a big head.""
Cause the promises you slurred were the same ones she kept
So untie your rope now you're free. she says,
""leave me alone and take your misery.""
""there's nothing left for you to kill in me.""
Now there are no more laughs
Just this sullen old raft slowly drifting idle in the harbor
Making way to sea
We've been naive and vain now and proud in the head
Mixing fear with denial who'd of thought this could end
Lying crowded on this raft, now gazing up at the stars
A raft with no mast we won't get very far
But at least for now our wounds will be salted
Soothed with forgiveness on blue ocean's altar
But the waves hailed in torrents, for you there's no redemption,
No you took all you could and you've shown no contrition,
Bartering burden in hopes of forgiveness.""
And now there's no more laughs just this sullen old raft
And the dark stench of cold blooded karma
Like Mother Mary said, ""let it be"", so let it be
And sink sink sink yeah sink sink sink, sink sink sink
INTO HELLS SEA
