lyrics

Oh we could stand there like filthy fucking kings
We could stand upon a hill and watch a city slowly burn,
But I had rather dropped my blood covered axe,
And watched my crimes soak in the snow and hope to God they don’t return

And we set sail,
On the ship built for a queen,
And we find ourselves lost,
Amongst a darkening sea.

Scared through the night,
Discovering a sea much more wide,
Than anything we had ever imagined
As the ruggid sea shifts the green rocky waters until the ship finally hits the tide.

And so it goes,
Only because fear drives the driving thoughts
That fight the lights in my frightful head,
And it steers the ship through ruggid waters,
It steers this ship through the sea

Storms are coming,
Storms are headed our way,
And I don’t believe this ship will make it,
Much further at this pace.

With growing fear of sinking,
Staring up at the stars in this shallow sea we drown,
We may go down with this ship.
Lets not forget all the things that we’ve done as we go down.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
