Polkadot Cadaver – Seagrave lyrics

Paralyzed, you pass me as your sinking

I fight the waves, you dig my grave into the ocean floor
A fragile mind, capsized and blinded by a paramour

Mesmerized, I'm rising with the bends

Contempt growing like moss on the tip of my tongue
By guess and by God. For all and evermore.

Flashbacks of love lost cast out to sea
Treasured hearts broken, pieces rain down on me
Surging moon as our worlds collide
A king is born in starry skies
And now I'm slowly, quietly drifting away

Hypnotized, set adrift the swollen vessel

Immortal in the current pull, far from the doldrums
Static ignites a foul berth in the sacred space between us

Now the light has faded into who I used to be
Memories in echo's forever haunting me

You speak to me in a whisper
From your heavenly hideaway
In a violent sea of skeletons
Overboard and tumbling in
Reach your hand down from the clouds
And hold my head
Under the water

Apathy stands the test of time
When leaving no one behind

Poseidon ignored, like a voice from within
An oracle's warning, the salt on my skin
Deadly sea creatures begin closing in:
The octopus, electric eel, the shark and the squid
Hanging from a rope to mend the devil
As rolling thunder scrapes across my back
A piercing stare from my weathered eyes
And without hesitation I begin my attack

Until today a bloodless existence
But now the waves roll over red
In this odyssey the enemy will suffer
For the first to attack is the last to be dead

Opus dei
There will be no other way

In the ancient order of the deep
I'll rock the maritime to sleep
Until returning on my dying day
Empty this sea grave shall stay
