Sailor's Tale is the sophomore single of the band, released to the public on the 2nd of May, 2015.
"Sailor's Tale" enables the listener to see into the internal struggles and minor conflicts that are part of our common life as a band. We had to overcome many obstacles and were barred from easy accomplishments in the past couple of years. We had to deal with our third guitarist leaving us, our lead singer working graveyard shifts for two week periods in Germany and all the other minor and major nuisances of life.
"Salior's Tale" is us, and it might become you as well!
lyrics
Son of man now make amends, and elevate your selfish head.
You've been tossed below, you drank from the sea; the salt is real, your life is bleak...
Broken figures, shorn and tattered by routine, these are my friends.
Chasing shadows that we took for our dreams, all sand and bones...
We are interconnected!
Our lives are bound!
Just water under the bridge, our lives are an empty circle.
There's got to be a way,a way to break this idle existence.
Creeping from the void, a murmur calls to me, all my deeds are cold, all my shame grows old.
Break the cycle end the cycle, fracture the wheel of the repetition.
Pungent cesspool, unmoving mire, godlost swamp, this is your life.
Pungent cesspool unmoving mire, godlost swamp, you are broken.
