(the storm) on board the ship

about

Mostly just a cool title, but our family did start getting to each other after spending more-than-usual time together in one building.

lyrics

We are at sea, scared to death
An outcast from a tossed collection
There is a calm before the storm
The sky looks hot, an intersection
The rain that reigned, so heavily rained
Every day for our protection

It’s too late for me
We sail above no where
It’s too dark to see down there

Despite these sails we are frozen
A scream to waste our last breath
At least the wind will get me dry
And high, so high above rainy clouds

I could fly away
I don’t need to swim
Night could last a day
Turn attention in
There’s a storm on board
Let the anchor steer
Don’t look to the lord
It’s too dark for him down here

It’s time to scream my last breath
When the depths below call to me
Is there time to say good bye
To the sun, to the moon, to the stars, every light
Eternity
A flightless bird, I’ll keep my wings
In the dark…

In the darkness…

Down in the dark…

We spent too long above the sea
Today we’ll go below
