OverWide open deep sea |
|
Men toil on the trireme |
|
The stream |
|
Pulls us astray according |
|
To our sun stones |
|
The sail and the hull are silhouettes |
|
As we consult |
|
The stars and the stones |
|
The captain's eyes |
|
Are fixed in place |
|
And the course is staying the same |
|
With our charts all full of emptiness |
|
We're sailing towards nothingness |
|
Not a slightest bit |
|
Keen to admit that we're |
|
A ship in distress |
|
With our charts all full of emptiness |
|
We're sailing towards nothingness |
|
Here's the irony |
|
In all this foolery |
|
We are calling it progress |
|
Is thereAfter the edge of the earth |
|
An endless fall |
|
We allHave heard the stories |
|
But we have closed our ears |
|
As many hands as there are sailors |
|
Are pointing in discord |
|
There's no clear |
|
Outspoken fear |
|
But it is starting to set in |
|
SomewhereBeyond the skyline |
|
The ocean comes to an end |
|
We fendOff the uneasy feeling |
|
That we're drawing near |
