The Spirit Of Shackleton - Glen Phillips

This is no exaggeration

I truly am alone

A hundred million clicks

And eight long months from home

But i’m holding to my promise

I’ll land and plant the flag

For god and corporation

And the greater good of man

There’s no law that can touch me

My sins are mine to keep

I’m a rocket, i’m an island

And on my shore she sleeps

I’m not coming back from here

I’ve been too far now

I’m cold but i’m not scared

In the Spirit of Shackleton

Pretty droplets of crimson

Surround me as they drift

Bonding together

Or bursting into mist

So i open up my mouth to them

And offer out my tongue

They are salty and sweet

Like the memory of love

I’m not coming back from here

I’ve been too far

I’m cold but i’m not scared

And i’m unshackled

I’m not coming back from here

I’ve been too far

I’m cold but i’m not scared

In the Spirit of Shackleton
