[00:27.36]Talking what's it good for
[00:34.15]Absolutely nothing
[00:39.47]Wrestle let's wrestle
[00:43.91]You can pin me to anything
[01:02.98]Thought I saw you in the seaw**d
[01:09.05]Thought I saw you in a forest flame
[01:15.02]I'll fill up the silence with the sound of your holy name
[01:51.62]Knowledge of the sea-ways knowledge of how the water flows
[01:57.62]Whoever coined the phrase has never had to brave the snow
[02:03.60]I climbed the shroud to the top-sail and I peeked through the glass
[02:09.62]The curvature bisected by the wintry mizzen mast
[02:12.36]The scar upon my stomach I call it my Flying V
[02:38.26]And every time I show it I can feel your eyes on me
[02:45.70]How many islands will surrender to the blunderbuss

[03:26.44]Life down for a people that I don't even care for
[03:28.78]Face to his face I put my
[03:30.66]Hand into his and I tried to tell him No
[03:37.80]I've seen his work upon the panes of cathedrals
[03:41.24]In the sweat of the workers and the flight of the seagulls
[03:48.47]My words were drowned out by the sound
[03:50.57]Of the motors and rowers the ship as it ran aground
[03:53.54]And from the trees came a thousand soldiers
[04:00.17]I went down on my knees with a spear in my shoulder
[04:03.25]About face about face I swam back
[04:06.24]To the Victoria I shiver with the
[04:11.55]Memory memory of the island dwellers
[04:13.63]And the indifferences of the Storyteller
