Rasputina - Humankind, As The Sailor lyrics

Ties that bind, Knots that fail or A scrimshaw carved in soap instead of bone Humankind as the sailor Embarking without hope of a safe way home Keep in mind the moon makes paler What is dark and what is soaked by the sea alone Humankind as the sailor Embarking without hope of a safe way home The size of the storm that is buffeting us Is absolutely huge and enormously dangerous We who rescue others, Lovers, sons and mothers Now we feel like the orphans ourselves If we don't keep up the grind, I will surely fall behind, Wave after wave Right into my face Humankind Of one mind, Set adrift to ride the storm
