Drunkship of Lanters Lyrics

    You've got the lot to burn

    A shelve of pic smothered cries
    Is there a spirit that spits
    Upon the exit of signs

    Is anybody there? (spines in a row)
    These steps keep on growing long (spiders and arrows)
    Bayonet trials rust propellers await

    No

    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smile for the dead
    Nobody is heard

    An antiquated home
    Afloat with engines on mute
    Sui generis ship spined around the yard

    Is anybody there? (spines in a row)
    These craft only multiply (spiders and arrows)
    At the nape of ruins rust propellers await

    Nobody is heard
    Compass wilting in the wind
    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smile for the dead
    Transoceanic depth in this earth
    In this cenotaph

    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll

    You've got the lot to burn
    A shelve of pic smothered cries
    Is there a spirit that spits
    Upon the exit of signs

    Is anybody there? (spines in a row)
    These steps keep on growing long (spiders and arrows)
    Bayonet trials rust propellers await

    No

    Nobody is heard
    Compass wilting in the wind
    Nobody is heard
    Rowing sheep smile for the dead
    Transoceanic depth in this earth
    In this cenotaph

    Carpel jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpel jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpel jets
    Hit the ground
    Carpel jets
    Hit the ground

    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll
    Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
    Counting the toll
    Counting the toll
