Drunkship of Lanterns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smiles for the dead
Nobody is heard
[Verse 2]
An antiquated home
Afloat with engines on mute
Sui generis ship spined around the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These craft only multiply (Spined as an arrow)
At the nape of ruins, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Lash of a thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
