| Song | Humankind, as the Sailor |
| Artist | Rasputina |
| Album | Sister Kinderhook |
| Ties that bind, | |
| Knots that fail or | |
| A scrimshaw carved in soap instead of bone | |
| Humankind as the sailor | |
| Embarking without hope of a safe way home | |
| Keep in mind the moon makes paler | |
| What is dark and what is soaked by the sea alone | |
| Humankind as the sailor | |
| Embarking without hope of a safe way home"The size of the storm that is buffeting usIs absolutely huge and enormously dangerousWe who rescue others,Lovers, sons and mothersNow we feel like the orphans ourselvesIf we don't keep up the grind,I will surely fall behind,Wave after waveRight into my faceHumankindOf one mind,Set adrift to ride the storm |
