III Lyrics by Ourfathers.

Movements

2015

[Verse 1]
Our bodies sway under gallows
Drunkships and lanterns sinking
Our hearts used to beat for forever
With the pressing of our lips we save face
With dull quills we carve paths
Rivers of ink leading us away
Like lovers we embrace
The tide is begging us to stay

[Hook]
If this is how it ends
Let me drown in the endless sea
If this is how I die
Tell my son he never knew me

[Verse 2]
Following the rhymes of broken lines
Of love loss and things I'm thinking
I've been writing letters to myself
Dear god horizons shrinking
Encrypted manuscripts of love
We should have shared
One day you took to sea
And the letters you wrote
They never reached me

[Hook]
If this is how it ends
Let me drown in the endless sea
If this is how I die
Tell my son he never knew me

[Chorus]
Cause when we danced, we danced alone
Our bodies strain, we took to song
The flagships falling, it won't be long
When you take to sea, sing this song

[Verse 3]
Cause when we danced, we danced alone
Our bodies sway, under the sinking sun
The flagships falling, it won't be long
When you take to sea, I hope you hear my song
Cause when we danced like lovers, we danced alone
Singing to the stars a sea of endless drones
We're all alone, we are all alone
We're alone, we are all alone

[Chorus]
Cause when we danced, we danced alone
Our bodies strain, we took to song
The flagships falling, it won't be long
When you take to sea, sing this song

[Chorus + Hook]
Cause when we danced, we danced alone
(If this is how it ends, let me drown in the endless sea)
Our bodies strain, we took to song
(If this is how I die, tell my son he never knew me)
The flag ships falling, it won't be long
(If this is how it ends, let me drown in the endless sea)
When you take to sea, sing this song
(If this is how I die, tell my son he never knew me)
