Skipper Lyrics

Drink from wrinkled hands

Kiss the water's edge

Float this sea of dead

Drain the Nile instead

Styx has overflown

Torrents of sins we've fed

Paid with coin in hand

Sold for charms well spent

Short the tolls path

Cross black sand and tundra swept

All the rowboats sit frozen in shallow bays

all the rowboats lost paddles into the waves

Lost into the waves

We lost to the waves

Skipper with no name

Sail me to my permanent place

Skipper with no name

Send me to what ends?

Skipper with no name

This adventure forever framed below

Skipper has no name

Nor mar refrain

Ice and coal gave way

Broken hull of slate

Violins they stay

Sink with captains play

There's a hole in the sky

Where mountains once stood to wait

Paid with coins too late

Sold for charms and snakes

Short the tolls path

Cross black sand and tundra swept

All the rowboats sit frozen in shallow bays

all the rowboats lost paddles into the waves

Lost into the waves

We lost to the waves

Skipper with no name

Sail me to my permanent place

Skipper with no name

Send me to what ends?

Skipper with no name

This adventure forever framed below

Skipper has no name

No marks remain

Drink from wrinkled hands

Kiss the water's edge

Float this sea of dead

Drain the Nile instead

Styx has overflown

Torrents of sins they've fed

Paid with coin in hand

Sold for charms well spent
