Last year our brother
went to sea, you see, he wondered
If a house was better than a boat
A solid floor to walk on than to row

But he came home
A changed man

Said that he had received a vision
That put the fear of god back in him
Then the angry ocean stole it back
What is god if not nothing oceanless?

It slapped my back
With angry eyes

Let me down
And took my tongue
No more words
You owe me none

Took our brother and his ship
Took his clothes and stripped him bare

These days we just sit around
You did this, you let us down
