Glass Eel Lyrics by Troy Kingi

Holy Colony Burning Acres

2019

[Verse 1]
Up in mystery sea we begin the ride
An evolutionary journey taking us to the coastline
From a humble leaf we start to show some teeth
A fascination with the surface and what lies beneath
How many sunsets 'til we get where we wanna get?
At the moment I'm nocturnal oooh I travel at night
Until I get my yellow stripes
Baby, I'm sticking with my family It's safer in a crowded bunch
Don't wanna be nobody's lunch
[Chorus]
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
Thе eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a linе against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
[Verse 2]
By day I'm a glass eel by night I'm an elver
My slender little frame gains a pound that's my culture
We are young and we swim against gravity
From way up here we get a better view of the sea
How many full moons 'til my fate is doomed?
For now I'm climbing waterfalls
Oooh I'm fighting the fight
Until I get my silver stripes
Baby, down in the muddy banks down where we reside
A nice dark place to hide
[Chorus]
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
The eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a line against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
[Verse 3]
I've followed the stream now I'm at the end
I've migrated to the big unknown
Oooh the mysterious place
I've morphed from stage to stage
Baby, time to take my place in the greater order of things
I fall and then it begins
[Chorus]
Are we moving up stream today?
To the ocean to hibernate
The eel, the fish and the submarine
Form a line against technology
1000 leagues in the lukewarm seas
To replicate and disintegrate oooh
Catch a lift on the tidal drift
Fresh river take us in and start again
