This is my first project as a director. After much blood, sweat and tears. Cab, bus, train, bike, tram, plane rides all over the city and country. Jumping fences and 5am finishes, spiders, leeches, warehouses and an email word count of pleases and thank yous that will remain unspoken. The We Lost The Sea Barkhan Charge video is finally finished. A very large thank to everyone involved. This video is dedicated to the memory of Chris Torpy, rest in peace brother.

Lyrics
--------

HERE WE ARE. 
WE GIANTS SWIM, BETWEEN THE EYES OF THE DEEP.
OUR SPIRITS COLLIDE, INTERTWINED. 
HIS RIGHT-HAND MAN, AN EMPTY VESSEL. 
A TROOPER IN COMMAND, KNOW NOTHING BUT TO SERVE.
A TEN THOUSAND YEAR MARCH. 
WHERE WILL WE SLEEP, WHEN WILL WE SLEEP? 
IN THE SOIL WE LIE. 
DENSE, WITH FEAR. 
IN THE SOIL WE LIE. 
IN THE SOIL WE LIE, NUMB AND DEPRIVED, NO STRUCTURE BINDS US. 
AWAITING THE SMILE OF A KING, A PASSING GLIMPSE OF NIGHT AND DAY, 
GIVES US A SIGN, WE MUST PREVAIL. 
HOLDING ON. 
NO MAN OR BEAST WILL SLOW US ON OUR CLIMB,
HOLDING ON. 
ONWARD AWAY FROM VIOLENT BIRTH, 
INTO ANOTHER REALM. 
MOVING ON. 
(I GUESS I’M MOVING ON)
