The Reverent Marigold – Ahab, or The Whale

The Reverent Marigold – Ahab, or The Whale Lyrics

Artist: The Reverent Marigold
Song: 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
