lyrics

The lash, the irons
The blackest dye
Gathering feathers
Against the sky
Castaways and devils
The pull of the rope
The raftman’s wake
Of blood and salt

The dance of the mermaids
The forgotten chart
This broken compass
Reeling in the dark
All souls lost
Abandoned at sea
These widow weeds
This captivity

All of those useless bones
This quiet reign
The whipping post,
Your skin name
The devil lives here,
Upon those shores
The tolling bell,
The rum corps

The dance of the mermaids
The forgotten chart
This broken compass
Reeling in the dark
All souls lost
Abandoned at sea
These widow weeds
This captivity

(Inspired by accounts of Norfolk Island’s early convict history)
