lyrics

Sheathed in iron sleeve
Sheltered from the salt and sea
Bent to fateful oars

Broken at the spine
Sundered by the singing shrine
Shelter is no more

Strong wind ‘neath the waves
Monolith upon the plain
Anno Rex Æquor

Here—
On this darkest horizon
Below the mortal sun
The water’s heart beats
Out—

Mine, the cold and ancient way
Where sunlight ne’er is shed
Where terrene gods are held at bay,
Where reign the driftwood dead.

Bend to fateful oars
Shelter is no more
Anno Rex Æquor
