Chumming the Ocean |
South of the rivers mouth |
Migration slopes slowly towards mainland. |
There, the salt air |
Fills the gills of the dead bait in hand. |
The deep is in riot, the coastline is quiet |
Asleep and divided in bands. |
While beer halls all revil, drunk and disheveled, |
Helplessly wading the diver is down. |
And theyre chumming the oceans. |
The signal is sent, |
Recieved and repsonded to. |
The water is red, red, red, red. |
Were downed, downed as the hand of god |
Chokes the driftwood with dead weight and brine. |
And spawning the detailed decline |
Via dorsal cuts, hooks, sink and line. |
The anchors have setlled, the tanks are full level. |
The flag has been raised half-mast on the bow. |
And harpoons are loaded, the cage has been lowered. |
The masks on, the diver is down, now. |
And theyre chumming the oceans. |
The signal is sent |
I think hes in trouble. |
The water is red, red, red, red. |
