Eclipse

We chart the lands of make-believe

We proved the earth was flat

Masters of the briny deep

Clear skies to rough and stormy seas

I’ve seen most everything

But tonight’s a mystery

Suddenly the moon began to disappear

Lust a ring of fire remained

Swallowed in the sky, this black unsleeping eye

Watching a world away

What in the world has happened here

Midsummer’s moon has disappeared

What in the world has happened here

This evil source is drawing near

What in the world has happened here

These things I can’t explain

What in the world

Our listless sails have lost the wind

We’re prey to anything

Every sound is deafening

Whatever stirred the restless deep

Begun by surfacing

Miles away and closing in

As they went away the waves begin again

Growing with intensity

There on the horizon loomed our fatal destiny

What in the world has happened here

This crystal ball sees only tears

What in the world has happened here

So unprepared to face our fears

What in the world has happened here

Braced for the tidal wave

What in the world…this fatal miracle

I surrender, I surrender

We’re not prepared to face our fears
