Balance Lost
Featuring Charlie Rice (uncle) on saxophone

I'm scared, it's been 6 hours
There's no-one at the control tower
No radio, no morse code
I heard something in the torpedo room explode
We're listing 60 degrees
Tried to write, no light, I just can't see
Once the oxygen turns to C02
There's nothing more that I can do

They said it was unsinkable
They said it was watertight
You're not as smart as you think you are
Now were stuck here on the seabed
In a perpetual midnight

Vidya-Vidyayevo
Vidyaye-Vidyaye-Vidyayevo
Vidya-Vidyayevo
Vidyaye-Vidyaye-Vidyayevo
Vidya-Vidyayevo
Vidyaye-Vidyaye-Vidyayevo
Vidya-Vidyayevo
Vidyaye-Vidyaye-Vidyayevo

There's been a breach from the outside
Leaking hydrogen peroxide
Caused the kerosene fuel to rupture
Must've been a faulty construction
Maintenance procedures not followed
Inadequate training, it's time to swallow my pride
And admit we were wrong
And wait for a rescue that will never come

They said it was unsinkable
They said it was watertight
You're not as smart as you think you are
Now were stuck here on the seabed
In a perpetual midnight

Love the twirly chimey thingies in the intro. Is that a mandolin, are are you just strumming your violin? The measured cacophony in the intro stays on the right side of listenable, but runs a little long. I like the rest of the song, including the "vidyayevo" part, but I think it needs a few more listens to really marinate with me so I cans absorb the emotional impact of those words.
