Sea Smoke (Demo) Lyrics
Pulled the cross down and myself into a hundred weaker parts
Pointed up into the cliffs, I saw the villains they became
Just an angel and a lion spitting fire in my name
Won't be long
Be long
Won't be long
Down to the violent, jet-black delta where the redwoods rose and fell
I painted all of man's mistakes inside a giant golden frame
I was a tax collector up until the spirit spoke my name
Heard the cedar bulkheads moan
So we replaced it with a field
And now it's scraping up our heels
To get these hallowed insults out
Past my bear trap jaws into my wandering father's ears
So I'm packing up my tattered thoughts and swallowing my prayers
Finally a captain I can trust
He formed a brand new trinity
With the hypocrites and me
I'm guessing you're one of the people who got a promo copy? Otherwise I don't see how you would've been able to decipher "Stygian". Looks accurate to me.
I interpreted these lyrics a while ago after receiving a download of the "Sea Smoke" demo. I've changed the title of the song to reflect that. But I haven't heard the studio version, nor am I aware of any changes to the lyrics which may have been made.

At the time of listening, I felt very sure of all the lyrics I heard except for those of the stanza beginning, "In the fog..." Any help there would be appreciated, especially on the second line.

Oh, just realized you missed the first three lines in the last stanza. This is what I could make out:
And I ? too long in a polished wooden tomb Should've left some space for you I never got my ?
And I'd been too long in a polished wooden tomb Should've left some space for you But I never got my fill of tempting fate
So I sold my spine to the devil-handed dusk
