When the Ships Arrive Lyrics

I leave you tomorrow
When you hunt my shadow
You treat me like horror
I'm not feeding your violence
I force you with the silence of love
I am leaving the harbour
Teardrops to swallow
We stay under water
Till your sonic reaches out for our name

And I will cry out
For the ocean
'Cause when the ships arrive
I cannot hope for a mayday

You call our names
We will fade away
Will they be ashamed
When we fade away?

So who do you follow
Humans of sorrow
Come down into the hollow
Tearing me up in vain
And I will cry out
For the ocean
'Cause when the ships arrive
I cannot hope for a mayday, no

And I will cry out
For the ocean
'Cause when the ships arrive
We cannot hope for a mayday
We're flying like the wind
And diving to the ground
I'm hiding in the sand
Till the night brings us out

For the ocean...

And I will cry out
For the ocean
'Cause when the ships arrive
I cannot hope for a mayday, no

And I will cry out
For the ocean
'Cause when the ships arrive
I cannot hope for a mayday
