Swallowing the Whale

from WHEESHT by BAAN vs The JHS Pedal Show

/

lyrics

Lock yourself behind closed doors
Eternity has only just begun
All the mothers, freaks and whores
Start the morning worshipping the sun
Radiation falls upon their painted faces
Think of all the many ways they fail
There's a warship deep beneath the ocean
The Captain swallowing the whale

The good dog eats out of your hand
Guards the door, sleeps by your bed
The wolf will follow no command
Goes where he wants, eats of the dead
I was once untamed and wild
Now I tarry for your word
Like a little baby, like a little child
Looking for a truth no-one has heard

They say God loves, he really cares
How come we never know he's there?
If all God's creatures love him so
How come they never seem to know?
