Drunkship of Lanterns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smiles for the dead
Nobody is heard
[Verse 2]
An antiquated home
Afloat with engines on mute
Sui generis ship spined around the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These craft only multiply (Spined as an arrow)
At the nape of ruins, rust propellers await
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smiles for the dead
Nobody is heard
[Verse 2]
An antiquated home
Afloat with engines on mute
Sui generis ship spined around the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These craft only multiply (Spined as an arrow)
At the nape of ruins, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Lash of a thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Lash of a thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
You've got the lot to burn
A shelve of pig-smothered cries
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs?
[Pre-Chorus]
Is anybody there? (Spines in a row)
These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow)
Bayonet trials, rust propellers await
[Chorus]
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
No
Nobody is heard
Compass wilting in the wind
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Nobody is heard
Rowing sheep smile for the dead
[Post-Chorus]
Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
(kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod)
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
Carpal jets hit the ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking
Counting the toll, counting the toll
About
Genius Annotation1 contributor
As alluded to in the lyrics and confirmed in the storybook based on the album, in this part of the story Cerpin Taxt finds himself alone in a submarine graveyard.
Down below me i could see a black and white sphere….sullen and unnerving. Floating in a graveyard of abandoned submarines that circled the magnificent dot as a ringed mote. Had I been here before?
