Mariner's Grave

from For King and Country by The Stanfields

/

lyrics

Once upon a time my existence
Was defined by ambition and trade
Now it’s gone just like this
The remnants of the exodus
At a loss, all alone and afraid

The fire has left me long ago
Once I was bristlin and brave
Now I’m destined to wither
On an errand of fools
And to lie in a mariners grave

I was worn with the stress
And the weight of progress
In the foremost uncertain of days
Comatose, dark & still
Have the means but lost the will
To take the fight to imposing ways

Once I was branded in gold
Now I’m abandoned and sold
Servant, sentinel and slave
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave
Once I was a summer domain
Now only winter remains
Drawn, quartered and flayed
Doomed to lie in a mariners grave
