The Great Exchange - Thrice

I crewed on a fair golden ship that

Went down at the dawn of the world

We mutinied had sentenced our captain to die

'Fore our sails had barely unfurled

We sank shortly after our riot

Wanton flames and our powder kegs met

While I swam for my life became voices aloft

Joyful, unearthly and dread

Singing of a violent

Tireless mystery

That one would give his life

To save his enemies

Too bone tired to keep my arms moving

To swim or even grasp out to straws

Undertow drew me down into its cold

And infinite, indigo jaws

I was singing of a violent

Tireless mystery

That one would give his life

To save his enemies

Thought I must be dead or dreaming

When my captain still battered, betrayed

Pulled me up, laid me over the beam he clung to Breathed his last and sank under the waves

Your body is a bridge

Across an endless sea

Your body is a bridge

Across an endless sea
