Time is nigh, my friends (Hoist the anchor…)
Time to rise again (Hoist the anchor…)
We go to war like bushido
You ‘bout to taste our torpedo
Hoist the anchor…
We're bustin’ out of our speedos
You'll be like, “Holy Toledo!”
Hoist the anchor…
You know we’re back to raise some hell
And just like that we can make your faces melt
Make some room, ‘cuz we’re coming through
And we’ve got seventy-five friends from Facebook coming too!
Time is nigh, my friends (Hoist the anchor…)
Time to rise again (Hoist the anchor…)
Tryin' to match our stylo?
You gonna get jacked, son. Tito.
Hoist the anchor…
We're resurrected like Vigo
Jeff McCoy, where did he go?
Hoist the anchor…
Because we’re back to make some noise
But not too much, don't wake Bill's baby boy
Contrary to what you may believe
We're not done yet, got tricks left up our sleeve
We’ll take you higher than you’ve ever been before
We’ll blow you off and then we’ll show up at your door
Forcing you to take it
We hope you never fake it
You shake it ‘til you break it
We wanna hear the sound of belts hitting the floor
We hoist the anchor ‘cuz we’re coming on your shore
Forcing you to take it
We hope you never fake it
You shake it ‘til you break it

Shredded Grace

Despite the pace of the ocean, baby
Despite the laughing face of time
And gravitational motion, baby
Despite all reason and rhyme
I will
Defy, decry
Head like a fist shaking at the sky
Stay, wait
Standing in line ‘til they open the gate
Yeah, I love her, though I’ve never seen her face
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting shredded grace
Yeah, I love her, though she never leaves a trace
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting, collecting…
Come on darling, come on darling, come on darling
Show me flesh
Come on darling, come on darling
Show me anything
Defy, decry
I hate my body but I don’t know why
Stay, wait
Standing in line, I was born this way
Yeah, I love her, though I’ve never seen her face
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting shredded grace
Yeah, I love her, though she never leaves a trace
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting, collecting…
Yeah, I love her, though I’ve never seen her face
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting shredded grace
Yeah, I love her, though she never leaves a trace
Yeah, I’ll bide my time collecting, collecting, collecting
Shredded grace

Radiant
03:03
|
|||
|
The sky, it seems, is falling on my head
I hear the screams of all the walking dead
I’ve given in to my defenselessness
And all the colors are so radiant (2x)
I think I’m falling from the sky
Stay calm, regain my wings and fly
In this dream
In this vessel
I am entrapped
Ascending here, the place where I belong
The pain and fear from my dream are all gone
And all the colors are so radiant (2x)
“Father, I am here,” my voice rang out
A thousand hues sprang forth out of my mouth
And all the colors were so radiant

You can not
You can not occupy
Occupy anybody in their mind
In their mind
It’s not right
It’s just not right
And when you walk along
Walk alone in a crowd
Unaffected and insincere
Since you’re here all I do
Is think of you
And you’re saying that you want me
How could anybody want it
If I never had it to give
And now I’m taking back
Taking back everything
Every little word I said
It meant nothing
Meant nothing
All that time
All that time and energy
Was such a waste
Such a waste
I remember nothing now
You were an ocean wave
Crashing and washing me
Away away
And you’re saying that you want me
How could anybody want it
If I never had it to give
This is a callout
For anybody suffering
(to the masses in the masks that are settling down)
for less then we are offering
Get out
Crawl out from under them
(what’s the use in saving for a rainy day)
When we’re gonna waste it all anyway
You can not
You can not occupy
Occupy anybody in their mind
In their mind
It’s not right
It’s just not right
And when you walk along
Walk alone in a crowd
Unaffected and insincere
Since you’re here all I do
Is think of you
And you’re saying that you want me
How could anybody want it
If I never had it to give
This is a callout
For anybody suffering
(to the masses in the masks that are settling down)
for less then we are offering
Get out
Crawl out from under them
(what’s the use in saving for a rainy day)
When we’re gonna waste it all anyway

Aftermath
03:09
|
|||
|
Lo, the heavens so fragile!
Gently kissed by the sunset
The most vivid of scarlet
As if we painted it with our love
‘Neath the infinite twilight
We will bask in its splendor
While it crumbles asunder
‘Til there’s no more above
Hand and hand as the sky comes down
Mountains plummet and strike the ground
But your beautiful sigh is the only sound
Ever lingering the cosmos
On this decaying fireball
We will reign o’er the cinders
King and Queen of the Aftermath
This communion of spirits
It will live on forever
An eternal devotion
No fairy tale can surpass
Hand and hand as the sky comes down
Mountains plummet and strike the ground
But your beautiful sigh is the only sound
Eye to eye in an endless gaze
Unaware of the world ablaze
All I care for is this final embrace

Embracing the Sky
03:38
|
|||
|
Get ready, get ready for disconnection
Get ready, get ready for brighter days
Grab hold of the cord and apply some tension
Then go forth, merrily on your way
I put the world behind me
I’m gone in the blink of an eye
If you wanna find me
I’ll be embracing the sky
If you’re fed up of impeding recollections
Pick your head up and look in a new direction
I put the past behind me
And sever all hindering ties
Nothing’s gonna bind me
Out here, embracing the sky
Prepare for a spiritual resurrection
It’s high time you heed to your mental health
Prepare for a radical insurrection
Between your mind and your physical self
All systems are go
Now it’s 4-3-2-1…

Not Quite Love
03:19
|
|||
|
Wake up, open your eyes, it’s no surprise they want you
Beauty is only skin deep, but that’s all they need to flaunt you
But all your dreams left behind, they just might catch up and come haunt you
‘Cuz what you got, it’s really not quite love
Make up your pretty face, let lipstick trace your smile
Dress in the latest couture, preen yourself for a while
But when I look, all I see is simply a form of denial
‘Cuz what you got, it’s really not quite love

One time, cast was my breath of air
(One time, cast was my breath of air)
Left my past where the leash lay bare
(Now I pass through the atmosphere)
I don’t know why I chose to leave
The touch of the sky, lying beneath
But my lungs have never been the same
(One time cast was the air I breathe)
(Now I blast through the galaxy)
Kiss of the stars, ever embedded
Inside my heart, sit back and let it
Take me forever far away

|
Check it out!
Fun is what I’m all about
Hot dog, hot damn!
If I weren’t such a ham
I’d be dead meat
Check it out!
Love is what I’m all about
Oh me, oh my!
If I weren’t so alive
I’d be dead meat
Check it out!
Love is what I’m all about
So gimme all your love
Gimme!

Trail of Bread
03:54
|
|||
|
Everybody leaves a vestige
Every life is a message
And it’s along these little trails of bread that we walk
Did you find what you were looking for?
I gave it to you, I could have swore
Right before you closed the door
Everyone goes through repentance
But nobody learns their lesson
It’s into this endless chasm that we fall
Did you find what you were looking for?
I gave it to you, I could have swore
Right before…

Code on the road, Code on the road
We got a little cash and a rooster on the dash
Code on the road, Code on the road
Take a ride with Code on the road
Don’t you know, wherever we go
The people will be anxious
Cuz’ they know we bring it like nobody can
Hey, you better believe, wherever we leave
The people there will thank us
And ask us when we’re coming back again
Code on the road, Code on the road
Take a ride with Code on the road
Don’t you know, wherever we go
The people will be anxious
Cuz’ they know we bring it like nobody can
Hey, you better believe, wherever we leave
The people there will thank us
And ask us when we’re coming back again
Code on the road, Code on the road
Take a ride with Code on the road

I make a million mistakes, I know
But honey, that’s what it takes to hone
I wanna be a better person, a better person
Oh, but I can’t do it on my own
Your resolve to fall in love is just a waste of time
You’ll find, all in all, that love means nothing without the climb
So talk to me, talk to me, tell me I’m wrong
And don’t make it so discreet
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna realize the wine ain’t that sweet?
Oh, but don’t think I haven’t noticed your own behavior
If you wanna be a better person, a better person
Then let me return the favor
Candor is a part of me, something I can’t feign
Candor is an artery, and baby, you’re so vein
So talk to me, talk to me, come and we’ll share
A shot of sobriety
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna realize the wine ain’t that sweet?
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna gonna
When you gonna…
Realize?
Be it sweetness or bitterness
The outcome is hit or miss
So just let me tell you this, my dear friend
The only thing for sure in
This lonely ol’ world you’re in
Is simply that everything comes to an end
So talk to me, talk to me, say your goodbyes
I’ll be here waiting while all other guys
Keep feeding and feeding and feeding you lies
Til you become what you eat
When you gonna When you gonna When you gonna realize
The wine ain’t that sweet?

The greatest thing about riding a bike (back in the day)
Wasn’t where you were going, but the ride that got you there
We were 13 years old and we couldn’t drive (back in the day)
So we took our bikes out for a ride anywhere
It was so shiny and red
Now it just sits in the shed
Collecting spider webs and rust down to the core
It doesn’t even fit me anymore
But what I wouldn’t sacrifice to go back when
And ride my bike again
Now driving is fun, but it’s no comparison
To when you’re riding your bicycle besides your closest friend
Now, when I take my car around the town
I drive by all the streets I’ve cycled down
The roads were bigger then, but I remember them like new
The greatest thing about riding a bike (back in the day)
Wasn’t where you were going, but the ride that got you there
It was so shiny and red
Now it just sits in the shed
Collecting spider webs and rust down to the core
It doesn’t even fit me anymore
But what I wouldn’t sacrifice to go back when
And ride my bike again

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hoist”
This is a beautiful album. It’s cool to hear a modern interpretation of this kind of music, especially when it’s done so well. The musicians all give great performances, Lorrie is a crazy talented singer, and the mix brings it all together to sell it. I wish I understood Greek so that I could get the full experience, but it’s great anyway
