lyrics

I take you to the ship and watch you board,
At last, our lives are better now.
After the fate of my ancestral home,
The new world will await us.

And though I'm sad you're leaving,
I know it won't be long,
Until a ship unites us both,
For now I'll be alone.

I watch you hide emotions behind smiles,
Your eyes they can't deceive me.
To have a future we must separate,
Our land is disappearing.

And though I'm sad I'm leaving,
I know it won't be long,
Until the ship unites us both,
For now I'll be alone.

We stare as oceans carry their debris,
We come to mistrust our own memory.

And though we're said we're leaving,
We know it won't be long,
Until a ship unites us both,
For now we'll be alone.
For now we'll be alone.
For now we'll be alone.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
