Thrice - Great Exchange lyrics

I crewed on a fair golden ship that Went down at the dawn of the world We mutinied had sentenced our captain to die 'Fore our sails had barely unfurled We sank shortly after our riot Wanton flames and our powder kegs met While I swam for my life became voices aloft Joyful, unearthly and dread Singing of a violent Tireless mystery That one would give his life To save his enemies Too bone tired to keep my arms moving To swim or even grasp out to straws Undertow drew me down into its cold And infinite, indigo jaws I was singing of a violent Tireless mystery That one would give his life To save his enemies Thought I must be dead or dreaming When my captain still battered, betrayed Pulled me up, laid me over the beam he clung to Breathed his last and sank under the waves Your body is a bridge Across an endless sea Your body is a bridge Across an endless sea
