lyrics

Its head broke the water before the sun set,
Its neck like a tower, its face dripping wet.
It gazed down upon us. Its horns broke the clouds.
It bellowed so loudly, such a terrible sound.

I was not prepared, for I was still young.
I had not yet accepted that everyone dies.
Yeah, everyone dies. Yeah, everyone dies.
And I couldn't run from my impending demise.

So I closed my eyes.
Yeah, I closed my eyes. Yeah, I closed my eyes,
As I waited for my impending demise.

[Off-key whistling + warbling guitar solo]

Its body submerged, and its head turned away.
It would not feast upon us, at least not that day.
But we can't forget that we're chained to our fate,
And we have to accept that we'll never be safe.

No, we'll never be safe. No, we'll never be safe,
Because everyone dies. It'll happen some day.
No, we'll never be safe. No, we'll never be safe,
Because everyone dies. It'll happen some day.

A Sunken Ship Irony Minneapolis, Minnesota

Like an old ghost ship rising from cursed waters, A Sunken Ship Irony emerges once again. We are soaked, old, and bruised, but we're still alive (if you could call this living).
