Humankind, as the Sailor Lyrics

Ties that bind,
Knots that fail or
A screw shaft carved in soap instead of bone
Humankind as the sailor
Embarking without hope of a safe way home

Keep in mind the moon makes paler
What is dark and what is soaked by the sea alone
Humankind as the sailor
Embarking without hope of a safe way home

The size of the storm that is buffeting us
Rasputina - Humankind, as the Sailor - http://motolyrics.com/rasputina/humankind-as-the-sailor-lyrics.html
Is absolutely huge and enormously dangerous
We who rescue others,
Lovers, sons and mothers
Now we feel like the orphans ourselves

If we don't keep up the grind,
I will surely fall behind,
Wave after wave
Right into my face
Humankind
Of one mind,
Set adrift to ride the storm
