Wind catches sail Cloth and wood, ancient propulsion Days in doldrums, flat glass seas Ripples make waves, gusts and breeze Stern to bow My vessel my home A prison in storms I must weather alone Gods of wind, endless sea Weeks of journey ahead of me Millions below, in the depths they lay The sea keeps all in her watery grave Into the unknown, from port to berth Her waters they howl, old as the Earth

Open Ocean 07:19
Water laps the hull Sun bathes my face Through black seas I float An endless course I trace Deep blue sky, warm sunshine Dinner I seek, casting my line Days and nights of peace and bliss Of calm and breeze, salty mist Of closeness to all who journeyed before Who never arrived onto safer shores Rock, roll, pitch, ambling along If it may please, I'll play her a song Skies to dark, sun flees storm Indifference to malevolence Feverish place to draw the lines Changing sails, running low on time Beaten by waves, seas groan Rain and storm, the helm stands alone Rock, pitch, roll, going overboard Watery lungs, I can hold on no more

No hope of land Swells as far as I can see My ship, tattered and torn Floats away from me A curse to the sea Bobbing to and fro I will join the souls In the Depths below

about

While most of nature is indifferent, the ocean has always seemed actively malevolent. With millions of souls in her depths, her raw power only permits the most skilled and lucky of sailors to pass. The Depths is a concept album imagining an ill-fated ocean journey taken by a solitary man aboard his boat. From calm seas and blue skies to violent storms and waves, he uses every bit of his determination in a futile attempt to overcome the ocean's haunting power.

The Depths was written and partially recorded on location near Big Sur, California.
