Chip The Black Boy - The Tide
31
Copied!
Come along, children!
Come in, the water's fine!
Give up, give in, sign on
Leave your mind on the doorstep
The forceps are poised
Rejoice for the birth of a new era
I, parthenogenous kin to Hera
Bare a typhoon, ride the riptide I usher in
Catch the swell or be pummeled on the reef and carried off to hell
The sea beckons thee, drift in the current to thе vortex
Resistance is jеopardous, let us in your cortex
Fortresses fall, all dysnaties die
High priests and priestesses succumb to diseases, it's natural
Castles crumble, vassals come to see kings and queens as pawns
As dawns new days upon old fiefdoms
Illuminating piles of maps and banknotes and federal files
Amassed in town squares and on fire
Fanned and fueled by the commoners' ire
High wire walk with me into the godless peace of the beyond
The painless, formless, enormous nothingness
Oblivion awaits, escape
Be sated in annihilation
The water's fine!
Leave your lifeline behind!
Take it blind!
It's a lot here to like, give in, submit to the tide
Free your minds, open wide and brace yourself for the ride
And keep your eyes shut up tight
We're heading into the night
I'll be your guide, no need for light
I'll be here, right by your side
Wave goodbye, let the waves crash upon you
Surrender to the memories and ghosts who haunt you
Merge into none
No future, no past life
Journey into darkness, leave back your flashlight
Pack light, why fight? Join the submission
Let go the rope, relinquish religion
End starvation, war, famine and pain
Cast your vote
Cast off hope
Cast away
Follow me to the edge of the earth
Where the brine spills off into the cosmos
Close your eyes, prize your role in the ranks of the dream team Picking up steam careening into the unseen
Unknowable battleship unrowable
S.S. Leviathan
No life vest required
Onboard the lordship
Explore the black vessel
Fathom the depths, dive, dance with... chance!
It's a lot here to like, give in, submit to the tide
Free your minds, open wide and brace yourself for the ride
And keep your eyes shut up tight
We're heading into the night
I'll be your guide, no need for light
I'll be here, right by your side
No reason to cry
No one cares, no one hears
As we drift off, the ocean merges with your tears
Let your fears fall away with all your hopes and your dreams
Where we're going there is no one to answer your screams
Come in, the water's fine!
Give up, give in, sign on
