Ahab, or The Whale Lyrics – The Reverent Marigold
Singer: The Reverent Marigold
Title: Ahab, or The Whale
There’s a poet on the ship
Who’s writing poems about the ship
But it’s bought and sold
Every man that boards
I own only this
I own my spear that’s never missed
The only music I know’s
The rhythm of the oars
Oh-oh the music of the oars
And I wish she’d come at night
And tuck in warm by my side
A squeeze of the hand
Would joys in a day
But they’re burning me alive
But forgot to set me alight
It’s just a job, a way to get paid
Oh-oh burning me alive
At shore and on sea
Oh-oh burning me alive
My mortal greatness is disease
They only find peace in gold
So they sail for the piece of gold
I 〈.?.〉
They kill all they could catch
But I am growing old
Hot fatted barrels in the hull
The Lord let this cup, let this cup pass
Oh, if it can
Let it pass
But nights turned into days
Turned into nights turned into
What a lonely bur
The cabin of my own now
I see how he gazes at another
It’s so easy to let go of the
Earth and watch for the steaming spout
Oh-ah
Oh-ah
Oh-ah
There she blows!
So crack your backs over the oars, boys
I want to see blood in your sweat
Break out against the all-destroying beast
But know we are not conquered, conquered yet
There is genius in the madness
And turn your madness into woe
Who cares about your living flesh
When they’ve already got your, got your soul
Let the tears fall in the sea
Let your tears fall into the sea
Oh salt always knows itself
You know, water always, always flows downhill
Become to me a blasphemy path
I drank the sun it bid its salt in me
I stand before the wind, and I howl
I let the gale wash away my screams
From hell’s heart I stab at you
For hate-sick I bid my last breath
My flesh already burns in your stomach
What can my soul give all this body’s death?
Let the tears fall in the sea
Let your tears fall into the sea
Oh salt always, always knows itself
You know, water always, always flows downhill
Let your tears fall in the sea
Let your tears fall into the sea
Let your tears fall in the sea
Let your tears fall into the sea
Salt water
Salt water
Salt
