High on a cliff, overlooking the bay.
There is a lighthouse, made for anyone who strays.
Where a fi re howls and melts away the frost,
seeping in from the vast desert I crossed.
You can’t go home, ever again.
Out on the ocean, a leaving merchant ship,
I’m sinking forever, as the sun starts to slip,
into the waves, into the deep, dark sea.
What a thief time turned out to be.
You can’t go home, ever again.
Stars are eaten by a big black bug,
Big black bug, big black bug.
Hungry.
Drinking blood from a yammering jug,
Yammering jug, yammering jug.
Thirsty
The waves are alive, a howling hord.
Hands hacked at the rail, they’re trying to board.
Stay away you demons, my name is Majnun.
I’m the mightiest djinn, I’m in love with the moon.
You can’t go home, ever again
