lyrics

Panthalassa (Lampetra tridentata)

The dreams are upon me again of impossible seas filled to the brim
With equally impossible things with preposterous amounts of teeth

Hereto I command an immortal ship and all ten hands on deck
Standing abreast with the finest men, each thick headed and hell bent
On seeing this storm through, for reasons all their own
Patching the sails with the shirts off their back, I need not sail alone

The highest crests will fall like the rest under our battered hull
The beast filled troughs our bow will cross atop their cartilage skulls

The chill of the wind carries the hymn
Of things sounding disappointingly human
I’m quick to remind my men to ignore these beauties with green skin
A sure sign their blood is too thin
Singing lampreys that will suck you dry

This sea has no end
You will all give in
Only a matter of time before I bring you all bliss
