this band was really great, the whole discography, just amazing
i thought this song was about the whaling industry:
a ship is getting destroyed in a storm ("the force of the waves was too much for its walls")
but the captain is greedy and wants to take in another catch ("pour on another eighty thousand pounds")
naturally the ship sinks and people die
i think a whale would weigh about 80,000 lbs?
it really paints a gruesome picture of how sick the captain is, see loves to see the whales (or whatever) suffering and all
i don't know if this a based on a real event, or is just a story made up, but either way it gets the point across
why don't people make music like this anymore? this stuff is awesome
