You've got the lot to burn 
A shelve of pig smotherd cries 
Is there a spirit that spits 
Upon the exit of signs 
Is anybody there 
These steps keep on growing long 
Bayonet trials rust propellers await 

No 
Nobody is heard 
Rowing sheep smiles for the dead 
Nobody is heard 
An antiquated home 

Afloat with engines on mute 
Sui generis ship spined around the yard 
Is anybody there 
These craft only multiply 
At the nape of ruins rust propellers await 

No 
Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind 
Nobody is heard 
Rowing sheep smile for the dead 
Tansoceanic depth in this earth 

No 
Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind 
Nobody is heard 
Rowing sheep smile for the dead 
Tansoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph 

Lash of one thousand eye brows clicking 
Counting the toll 
Counting the toll 

You've got the lot to burn 
A shelve of pig smothered cries 
Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs 
Is anybody there 
These steps keep on growing long 
Bayonet trials rust propellers await 

No 
Nobody is heard compass wilting in the wind 
Nobody is heard rowing sheep smile for the dead 
Transoceanic depth in this earth in this cenotaph 

Carpel jets 
Hit the ground 
Carpel jets 
Hit the ground 
Carpel jets 
Hit the ground 
Carpel jets 
Hit the ground 

Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking 
Counting the toll 
Counting the toll 
Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking 
Counting the toll 
Counting the toll
