Over Wide open deep sea Men toil on the trireme The stream pulls us astray according To our sun stones The sail and the hull are silhouettes As we consult The stars and the stones The captain's eyes Are fixed in place And the course is staying the same With our charts all full of emptiness We're sailing towards nothingness Not a slightest bit Keen to admit that we're A ship in distress With our charts all full of emptiness We're sailing towards nothingness
