Whose Authority Lyrics

Cover art for Whose Authority lyrics by Nada Surf

Great song and lyrical flow. "wolf packs and convoys and Captains and men, surprised with translation, world without end" just has a great meter to it.

Song seems to be a question of what authority is in the first place, perhaps a "do what thou wilt" sort of musing?

"World without end" could arguably be a shout out to Mercyful Fate and King Diamond who quoted that cliché as the final line of the Devil Worshipping song "The Oath."
