The Wretched Excess - The Whaler's Song Lyrics

Here at the top of the world
We are waiting for the signs
Here at the top of the world
Holding out for the right time

And here in the ship of the world
We watch the whales from the bay
Here at the edge of the world
Little bleeding monster at play

And their bodies come wash up
Where blue & green turns black
And we're watching it all
There at the top of the world

Now the sun is closing down
We're all hitting the street
Daggers in our hands, bleeding to the ground
Reaching for the dust at our feet

Those of you who once knew
But now hang unsure
Will pay all we owe
For debts spent long ago
There at the top of the world

There at the top of the world
We didn't know any better
There at the top of the world
We didn't know any better
