lyrics

O Captain on an ocean liner,
You sail with me through sleet and rain,
Your navigation yields before a storm,
You don’t ship the brutality.
Below leviathans breach the surface crest,
Their crotchets moan and maim my callous lobes,
A rhododendron for your crypt beneath the storm,
It don’t ship the brutality

O Captain on an apparition,
Your pulse is weak through sheets and foam,
Like a Lusitiania defeated by the storm,
We don’t ship the brutality
O behemoth I miss you dearly,
As cadences divorce your vacant hull,
A blush azalea adrift within the storm,
Don’t ship the brutality

Currach Adhmaid tarred and canvassed,
Your beaten frame persists through sleet and rain,
Your crew relinquished surrender to the storm,
Cos they accept the brutality
