The Whale Lyrics by Daniel Emond

Kill The Whale (EP)

2017

[ISHMAEL]
We’re in November now
The cistern of my soul has frozen over
How, one could skate across
I could take my life
Pistol and the ball
You could call your doctor
Mine, can’t be found ashore
As we set sail
For I don’t know where
Ahab take the wheel if you dare
With the great white whale
I don’t compare
All the same, I will be there
Bed the with the cannibals
Kokovoko curse
Sweet dreams of Jonah
I wake, crying tears of thirst
If you should ever leave
I’ll shake you from your sleep
And warn you that old thunder is king
Nightmare ivory
As we set sail
For I don’t know where
Ahab take the wheel if you dare
With the great white whale
I don’t compare
All the same I will be there
Saturn’s grey and Neptune’s blue
Your love and your life are gone now
Imagine that we won
When you clap your eyes upon
The white of the might of gods now
Imagine the legend
Fathoms of creamy foam
Stretch beyond the stern
Skull of spermaceti and soul
Not unlike our own
His body dripping light
‘Til the mouths of sharks swim around us
And chase from our sleeping hearts
As we set sail
For I don’t know where
Ahab take the wheel if you dare
With the great white whale
I don’t compare
All the same I will be there
As we set sail
For I don’t know where
Ahab take the wheel if you dare
With the great white whale
I don’t compare
All the same I will be there
