Carrion Lyrics - Decline Of British Sea - British Sea Power

Carry on inside of your heart 

Under the brine you won't notice the dark 

Can stone and steel and horses heels ever explain the way you feel 

From Scapa flow to Rotherhithe, I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide 

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds 

The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow 

Always, always, always the sea 

Brilliantine mortality 

Irrigate your heart until you know your complete 

And your draped in kelp, below by 8,000 feet 

My soul she cried I thought you'd died amid fumes of formaldehyde 

You have been gone for so long I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide 

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds 

The salt the spray the gorgeous undertow 

Always, always, always the sea 

Brilliantine mortality
