Thrice - The Great Exchange [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[verse]
I crewed on a fair golden ship that
Went down at the dawn of the world
We mutinied and sentenced our captain to die
'Fore our sails had barely unfurled

[verse]
We sank shortly after our riot
Wanton flame and our powder kegs met
While I swam for my life there came voices aloft
Joyful, unearthly and dread

[Chorus]
Singing of a violent
Tireless mystery
That one would give his life to
Save his enemy

[verse]
Too bone-tired to keep my arms moving
To swim or even grasp after straws
The undertow drew me down into its cold
And infinite indigo jaws

[Chorus]
I heard singing of a violent
Tireless mystery
That one would give his life to
Save his enemy

[verse]
I thought I must be dead or dreaming
When my captain, still battered, betrayed
Pulled me up, laid me over the beam he'd clung to
Breathed his last and sunk under the waves

[tag]
Your body is a bridge
Across an endless sea
Your body is a bridge
Across an endless sea
