Jeremy Pomeroy - Herkules Versus Xerxes

Thunder's rumbling, cascading overhead
Eye the horizon while you keep to yourself in a cottage by the diocese and fief

As for our savior cities where do I stand?
Hope's a destination, when you leap from a landing to the next best landing, and you hope to find yourself upon Your feet- [and] that the ensign will not reprimand you

Horizon streams its largesse but honestly the odyssey's all
The sea's an order apart from us but honestly the odyssey's all

Ivory coasts, bathyspheres, vertices
Up periscope: Hercules verus Xerxes, will they put you through the blender?
and you hope the hull won't shatter on the reefs
Howe'er a-gley the day-by-day go, we stream on, Atlas to Nostrom

Horizon steams its largesse but honestly the odyssey's all
The sea's an order apart from us but honestly the Odyssey's all
"Hard to port now, you lubbers, look smart!

We're passing the rock of Gibraltar."
The previous night in port's hangover clears
The sonar strobes the darknesses
what we're haunted by '[i]s

We're haunted by our saviors; we're haunted by our saviors
We're fine by the seas; we're confined by the seas
We're haunted by our saviors; we're haunted by our saviors
It's anchors away: we're off on our way
We're haunted by our saviors; we're haunted by our saviors
We're fine by the seas; we're confined by the seas
We're haunted by our saviors; we're haunted by our saviors-we're haunted
