Burning the Ocean Dry

from WHEESHT by BAAN vs The JHS Pedal Show

/

lyrics

I saw the tide come, I had no choice
Stood beside you with the burning Goodbye Boys
If the tide comes away down here
Fill my body full of dread fear

When the time comes, hear my voice
When the time comes, I will rejoice
Get the vote out, get out of my face
Don't need your kind in my space

There's a fire in the sea
In the water there's a drowning dead man free
Octopus in his brain
Never ever will live again

Fire lights up the sky
There's a fire burning the ocean dry

Got nothing, I'm nowhere
There's a fish inside my dead head
I ain't breathing, I don't need air
Walking home from the sea bed

In a warship made on the Clyde
That's where me and a dozen died
Just trying to live and be kind
Then fire blew out our minds

You wanna know how this will end?
It doesn't go well for me or my friends
Dark took us, it brought us right through
You hate us, I don't blame you

The truth will come out, it must be told
Truth is there's no pot of gold
I can't help you, can't save me
From the devil or the deep sea

They're gonna get you, I can't stop that
Washed up on shore, a drownded rat
Better get the silver bullet
I hope you know where you must shoot it
