Thornwyck Hymn Lyrics
I will be the weight of my sins
And I will be the one who caves in
A choir of sorry girls
With their hearts full of pearls
A foul and torrid feast
Sinks men down to their knees
The twisted waters are where I will be
The sisters calling from deep in the sea
The twisted waters, they call out my name
I will swim with them but they're not to blame
The twisted waters are where I will be
The sisters calling from deep in the sea
The twisted waters, they call out my name
I will swim with them but they're not to blame
A final kindness, a final kiss
As the golden arm of evening comes
A final kindness and all is bliss
I wither coldly and then I am gone
I wither coldly and then I am gone
And I will be the one who caves in
A choir of sorry girls
With their hearts full of pearls
A foul and torrid feast
Sinks men down to their knees
The sisters calling from deep in the sea
The twisted waters, they call out my name
I will swim with them but they're not to blame
The sisters calling from deep in the sea
The twisted waters, they call out my name
I will swim with them but they're not to blame
As the golden arm of evening comes
A final kindness and all is bliss
I wither coldly and then I am gone

Frontman Aaron Stainthorpe comments: “Set upon the rugged coast of Yorkshire, Thornwyck village has spent an eternity being haunted by the chill waters that wash its shore – and the hidden folk who dwell in the salty depths. Woe betide anyone who fares into the briny sea, or even steels too close to its edge for they may never set foot back on mother earth.”
