Tidal Worker

Calloused hands on Neptune's wheel
Salt and sweat, my daily meal
The waves don't care if I collapse
This ocean's got no maybe's mapped

They say: Sisyphus had it rough
(Try pushing tides with broken lungs!)
Poseidon laughs at mortal pain
(I spit back tsunami rain)

I'm your tidal worker!
(Chained to the Moon's cruel dance)
Breaking my back on aqua altars!
(While gods drink ambrosia and glance)
(Vocal Chop: Glance-ance-ance)

Hades stole my sunlight years
Left me Icarus wings of fear
Every dawn's a Trojan war
Odysseus drowned long before

(If Athena won't bless my hands)
I'll steal fire like Prometheus planned!
(If Zeus won't part the sea)
I'll walk the seabed bloody-kneed

They say: Sisyphus had it rough
(Try pushing tides with broken lungs!)
Poseidon laughs at mortal pain
(I spit back tsunami rain)

I'm your tidal worker!
(Chained to the Moon's cruel dance)
Breaking my back on aqua altars!
(While gods drink ambrosia and glance)

I'm your tidal worker!
(Chained to the Moon's cruel dance)
The Erinyes whisper quit!
(But Charon won't take me yet)
