Lyric #1: Ahab

There are times in this life
Where all your words leave you,
When you’re down to one leg
And it’s pulled from beneath you,
And your hopes and your dreams
And ship are all swept away.

I look at my life
And I see where it’s leading.
My crew’s all gone,
Most of them bleeding
As a white whale waves goodbye,
Lord, he’s mocking me...

There’re souls in this world
Of all shapes and sizes,
And mine keeps on soaring
As my ship capsizes
And with eagle’s eyes,
I look toward the distant shore.

My whole life long
I’ve been fighting for something,
Against an uncaring God
And the sense that I’m nothing.
With the end in sight
It seems I’ll finally know

I swear from the heart
Of Hell, I will hate you!
And as I hurl my harpoon,
I hope I’ll finally sate you.
As I’m towed on the line,
Through my mind, flow familiar words.

There’s souls in this world
Of all shapes and sizes,
And mine keeps on soaring
As my ship capsizes
And with eagle’s eyes,
I look toward the distant shore.
