Ahab, or The Whale Lyrics

There's a poet on the ship whose writing poems about the ship

But it's bought and sold every nail and board

I own only this Honing a spear that never misses

The only music I know is the rhythm of the oars

I wish that he would come at night and tuck in warm by my side

A squeeze of the hand, what joy is in a day?

God they are burning me alive but forgot to set me alight

They say it's just a job a way to get paid

Oh

Eating me alive

At shore and on the sea

Oh

Eating me alive

All mortal greatness is disease

The only peace comes from gold, they all sail for the piece of gold

I nailed up, they kill all they can catch

I am getting old hot fat in barrels in the hold

Oh let this cup, Lord let this cup pass

But nights turn into days turn into nights turn into what?

A lonely berth

A cabin of my own now

See how he gazes at another it's so easy to

Let go of the earth

Watch for the steaming spout

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

THERE SHE BLOWS

Crack your backs over the oars boys

I want to see blood in your sweat

Rage out against this all destroying beast

But we are not conquered yet

Turn your genius into madness

And turn your madness into woe

Who cares about your living flesh

They've already got your soul

Ah!

Let your tears fall in the sea

Let your tears fall into the sea

Salt always knows itself

Water always, always flows downhill

Speak not to me of blasphemy man

I'd strike the sun if it insulted me

Stand before the wind and howl

I let the gale wash away my screams

From the mouth of hell I stab at you

For hates sake I spit my last breath

My flesh burns in your stomach

What can my soul care for this body's death?

Let your tears fall in the sea

Let your tears fall into the sea

Salt always always knows to itself

Water always, always flows downhill

Let your tears fall in the sea

Let your tears into the sea

Let your tears fall in the sea

Let your tears fall in the sea
