Thrice - Kings Upon The Main lyrics

rate me

The lesson you'd do well not to forget Your life could be the one it's wisdom saves At sea, where you're beleaguered and beset On every side by strife of wind and waves Despite the best of maps and the bravest men For all their mighty names and massive forms There'll never be and has never been A ship or fleet secure against the storms When kings upon the main have clung to pride And held themselves to masters of the sea I've held them down beneath the crushing tide Till they have learned that no one masters me But grace can still be found within the gale With fear and reverence, raise your ragged sail
