Corsican Mastiff Stride Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We sail, we sleep, we scry dry land
We dig a pit beneath the sand
A place to keep the sun at bay
At dark we rise and find out way

[Chorus]
With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride
Close to the dropoff on our long slide

[Verse 2]
The land we left becomes a dream
The ghosts we knew go up like steam
They leave some trails against the sky
All but invisible to the eye

[Chorus]
With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride
Close to the dropoff on our long slide

[Bridge]
Call off the search party
Let mourners wail by the shore
Point to the spot where our ship disappeared
We're not coming home any more

[Verse 4]
Should you succeed and breach the coast
You tell your friends you've seen a ghost
You tell them all there's nothing here worth dying for
You leave it there

[Chorus]
With our faithful companion by our side
Put it all on the table and let it ride
We are close to the drop-off on our long slide

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
