The Mute Gods - The Singing Fish of Batticaloa lyrics

Artist: The Mute Gods

album: Tardigrades Will Inherit The Earth


Can you hear the singing?
It seems to be quite near
Can't really tell where it's coming from
But I know that's what I hear
From the water at emanates
And it echoes on and on
Sirens of Caledey Bridge
Bring their mournful song
All in all, we are ephemeral
Living on the edge of a wheel
Turn and turn while our fires still burn
Coming to the end of the deal.
They ring the bells at St. Sebastian
And the faithful kneel to pray
With staunch thoughts and shadowed hearts
They turn their ears away
From the truth that surrounds us all
From the water comes a tail
Of Great Nations lost and found
Aspirations born to fail
Cast your eyes neath the Northern Skies
Something in the water's moving
Lend your ear dusk till dawn you'll hear
Something in the water brooding
Thirty years of war
What were you fighting for?
People burned alive
Their ashen bodies in the skies
Vespers of the deep
Chant while mortals sleep
Slothful in their dreams
Corpulent as kings
The stain of man degrades the land
It grieves and tears they fall as rain for years
Hear these words we implore you
Don't proceed in anger
Time draws near and you will falter
Cast your eyes to the Northern Skies
Something in the water's moving
Lend your ear dusk till dawn you'll hear
Something in the water brooding
Don't you know we‘re ephemeral?
Living on the edge of a wheel
Turn and turn while our fires still burn
Coming to the end of the deal
