Loxodrome

Lyrics by R.S.


Hey, where has our future gone?
You ask following a loxodrome

What's that cairn we are sailing to?
A channel offshore weŽll fail pass through?
Leading beacon is standing dark
Diving around us our pet mud shark

Soundings from starboard echoes safe quays
Smoke and fire are far from buoys
- but still!

Enigmatic vortex is our commodore
In cosmic milk ocean ain't moorings anymore
Negative knowledge in the marina lie
"Victoria Island and Terre Adelie"

Pilot station on ubiquitous frontiers
Swarm intelligence of electronic zombies
- guide us!

Loxodrome - where do you usher us,
Fairway zone - or something fuzzier?
Magnetic fields - are zero anysphere
Drifting leads - some place called Where
Underwater white light is carrying us down...
We'll dry on ruins of a Pacific - Pacific town

Put ashore to a refuge berth
Halfway from Baleares to Perth
We meet our maker in amniotic deep
he tells us the truth, but no reason to sweep

Through obscure mirror sun looks like a pup,
You got that marine map wrong way up!
- so it is!

Loxodrome - where do you usher us,
Fairway zone - or something fuzzier?
Magnetic fields - are zero anysphere
Drifting leads - some place called Where
Underneath the falling sky we drill our chart...
Until we'll break on to the upside - upside part

You say following a loxodrome
Hey, there has our future gone.
