Lyrics
"Tie him to the stern:"
A figurehead upturned
And flowing inversely in the deep.
"Plug his ears with wax;
Veil or pluck his eyes:
Destroy all sensibility."
"You have brought them here,
Those seductresses of man.
You have brought us here,
I fear you’re no mariner.
"You had too much leave,
And our doom is round your neck.
They have brought us here,
There’s no safety near this deck.
"Turn the sails about,
You will be our mortal bait.
It is your own fault
That your manhood is no more.
"Drive it through the sternum,"
Said the boatswain to his harpoon-holding mate,
"A blood drip may attract them
"Away from all the men
Towards this thing displayed.
Pray to Him for your salvation."
"You have brought them here,
Those seductresses of man.
You have brought us here,
I fear you’re no mariner.
"You had too much leave,
And our doom is round your neck.
They have brought us here,
There’s no safety near this deck.
"Turn the sails about,
You will be our mortal bait.
It is your own fault
That your manhood is no more."
