lyrics

Chapter 37: Sunset

Bask gently
In the melody,
Oh sailors
Of the sea!

The Almighty
God above
Knows just
What you'll be.

Good sailors,
Come with me.
We'll bring Him
To His knees.

God brings us down,
Leaving with one final stroke
Upon the everyday crown
Of the man he made, certain
To be everything.

Take pleasure
In the melody,
Oh heavens
Of the deep!

You struck me,
But I come again,
Now bearing
My teeth.

You bring us down
And then you hide in the smoke
Above the factory ground.
You lose yourself if you ever lose me!
If you ever lose me!
