Remixing the Past : Ghost of India Supreme

Fourth song remixed on the 2008 "Broken Sails" EP.

Sleeping as if already dead
In the foam of a wave
All the pleasures of the world
Left us empty and cold
Oh the pleasures of the world
Left us empty and cold
Our sleep broken
Our lives ashore
All the pleasures of the world
Lost us so far from home
The deafening sound of thunder
The crushing grip of the waves
We crossed over the sea
Where things arise and pass away
From river to the sea
Where things arise and pass away
We crossed over the sea
Where things arise and pass away
This is the house
This is the house of bones
This is the lake
These are the thousand cranes
This is the fish
This is the hollow shell
Craving pleasure and nursing pain
This is the dying summer
The island flood can’t overwhelm
This is the fragile jar
This is the helpless reed
Crushed by the ocean
Free from fear
Death fetches away
The man distracted by the world
The sea takes away
The man deflected by the waves
