"Arise, arise seaman arise
Each does it in his own way
One thrusts the spear into a man
Another then into the fish"
Some men are soldiers, others are fisherman. I think this is what these lines are saying (although, there is an obvious sexual connotation here too...although that could just be an immature observation...). It seems to me this song is saying everyone kills, just in different ways ("The lance must be drowned in flesh ").
"Fish and man sink to the depths
Where the black soul dwells
there is no light on the horizon"
Maybe this is saying that everyone dies. But it seems to be more critical...This song coud be considered an argument against eating meat...It also seems to be a negative view on war ("Even on the waves there is fighting /Where fish and flesh are woven into sea...In their blood a spear is lodged/They bleed softly into the ocean") Ah, I don't know. Could be all of that...or none of that. ^^;
