Captain Ulysses lyrics

Captain Ulysses

Stood on the shore

Exhausted and angry and spent.

The sea had recently

Taken his ship

He was salty and bloody and bent.

Each wave struck him,

As angry he yelled,

And he swung his fists at the sea.

But relentless they battered

And turned him and drenched him,

And knocked him down to his knees.

"I've fought against you

Nearly all of my life!

And the battle has wearied my soul."

But the sea pulled back

For one final hit,

Then it struck him and swallowed him whole.

Fighting the ocean,

The turbulent motion

Was pointless as oceans transform

Breaking and crashing

Consuming and bashing

Change or you'll lose to the storm

Each wave struck him,

As angry he yelled,

And he swung his fists at the sea.

Relentless they battered

And turned him and drenched him,

And knocked him down to his knees.

"I've fought against you

Nearly all of my life!,

And the battle has wearied my soul."

But the sea pulled back

For one final hit,

Then it struck him and swallowed him whole.

Fighting the ocean,

The turbulent motion

Was pointless as oceans transform

Breaking and crashing

Consuming and bashing

Change or you'll lose to the storm

Fighting the ocean,

The turbulent motion

Was pointless and useless

It mocked his devotion

For oceans and currents

Will ebb and will always transform

Breaking and crashing

Consuming and bashing

Destroying direction

Invoking rejection

Change and transform

Or you always will lose to the storm
