Actually most of the first part was written by Nostradamus (amazing guy), published in his prophecy book, Centuries. This is what Nostradamus wrote:
When the still sea conspires an armor,
and her sullen and aborted currents
breed tiny monsters, true sailing is dead!
Awkward instant and the first animal is jettisoned.
So maybe Jim put some new meaning to it, or maybe Nostradamus really was talking about horse latitudes. Any way this song scares the hell out of me and I have to skip it every time I listen to my Strange Days album.
Also if you don't know what horse latitudes are they are as TheShill said, very little wind so you can't sail ("True sailing is dead") so they had to get rid of their heaviest cargo: horses. It truly is a scary thought, think of a horse in the middle of the ocean just gasping for breath and drowning...Night everyone thanks for reading my input.
