Generate meaning
1
Floating in the cold water the ghosts of sorrow haunt the deep
2
Reaching down to drag the ruins and roam the lone deserted streets
3
Of an old abandoned temple buried in the narrow strait
4
Off the coast of Tarifa, Spain
5
Gypsies scatter through the desert across the Atlas Mountain Range
6
Hoaring remnants from the Devil from the Empires iron reign
7
While cluttered down the mouths of rivers widowed lovers bathe and clean
8
Silken scarves embroidered for their brand new Queen
9
And every time she rises up the ocean sinks
10
Her memory drags a drape of a thousand angry stings
11
And like the moon doesn't mind if the sun doesn't shine
12
The sea doesn't care if you're lonesome tonight
13
Like the love that she gives condescendingly tries
14
In its way to comfort you
15
Set adrift into her swarm-man o war
16
Caught up in her dangling sting-off the shore
17
Of a foreign brown sand beach as blue as bottles cover you
18
Many messengers and rebels have come and gone without a trace
19
And many more will come tomorrow and many more will be erased
20
Cause out beyond the docks of Rota upon the bottom of the sea
21
Along the miles of copper cable from the Gulf of Cadiz
22
They tap the lines to hear the sounds that start the songs the rebels sing
23
And drag a net to seine the bottom for the purse the bastards bring
24
And like a lion don't mind if a lamb takes her time
25
A beast doesn't care if you surrender tonight
26
Cause a beast knows she'll get what she wants in good time
27
What she wants all in good time
28
Set adrift into her swarm-man o war
29
Caught up in her dangling sting-off the shore
30
Of a foreign brown sand beach as blue bottles cover you
