Lake of Fire

7am
We head north
And it was time
And the storm is coming
In
When we die on this lake of fire
We become the stones
Future here full of wake and divers
Were not alone
And when it came time
To set sail your life
Reflection of the night
And when you know it best
And the fire eyes the tide
When the hands of death arrive
And it was time
And the storm is coming in
When we die on this lake of fire
We become the stones
Future here full of wake and divers
Were not alone
When we die on this lake of fire
We become the stones
Future here full of wake and divers
Were not alone

Turner's Hook
03:34
|
|||
|
Lay in bed, no time to sleep
The waves are pushing and pullin me
Feel a call, blade to my neck
And its pulling me down below deck
Some kind of hook
It draws me close
Closer than most
Hooks my chest, my guts, and my throat
It pulls me down, down the stairs
Covered crooked there
Some kind of hook
And the sight within the frame
Our ship bent in the rain
And all our foolish souls
Sink with the guns and gold

Captain Calls
03:07
|
|||
|
Feel the air, feel his brush touch our canvas
Feel the fear, feel the lakebed deepen
Captain Calls ship be damned
Hear the gulls, hear them calling, baying
Turner’s ghost, feel the dead stir in the lake weed, howl
Captain Calls ship be damned
Call your last, say hello to the library of souls
Watch it crack, feel the waves reach to greet you, down
Ship be damned.

Sink (Two Hands)
02:37
|
|||
|
The sun pales, swallowed by the water until
There's no more than the flicker of a lamp on shore
Painted here, the premonition reappears
And still is all as I feel the lake swallow me whole
Hands reaching down
Through the silence which surrounds me in my fall
A rescue or a hooded curtain call?
A rescue or the end of it all?
