Untitled Too Lyrics - Steve Kilbey

The day we left for January 

The maelstroms lashed outside/our side [0:45] 

Tore us away from the glass world obeyed/of faith [0:50] 

Where the impulse engines died 

We scrambled up the crow's nest 

Could not believe our luck 

Our terrified cries vibrated through the sky 

Lightning and thunder struck 

Down and down and down 

Drowning in yourself 

Down and down and down 

The sargeant was a drunkard 

The wing commander bent 

We crashed one night on the other side 

Just past the Duke of Kent 

Passengers were a lethal lot 

Hanging the loud in the nets 

They dreamed and screamed as we picked up steam 

In the mouth of the rivulet 

The mutineers were scabby darks [2:50] 

Howling for our blood 

Behind her whip [2:56] up and down the ship 

We hurled into the flood 

The enemy ??? [3:05] 

Lays here like a saw 

We shudder in her wake like a damaged snake 

We didn't get too far 

The sea was a vast mosaic 

Fallen to disrepair 

The sky was aglow like the chaos below 

As the first shots filled the air 

The charge swept off our captain's leg 

So they put him in a barrel of graphite 

Commanding from the fray as his blood ran away 

His soul fled to the light
