about

Leslie wrote the song's music and had more or less figured out the songs layout . Some slightly arrangement changes were made when Richard started to write lyrics. The ending came together as a jam when they used to practice the song for shows. Adam Arsenault time with the band heavily influenced the treatment and performance of the drums specially the the drum fill at the beginning of the song.
It took Richard awhile to find something that worked for this song lyrically and melodically and even the vocal tone that he wanted to approach the song with. As the song invokes a Zeppelin feel he leaned into his Robert Plant and blues influence. The lyrics were based on the fictional tale about a murder of an individual and there body being disposed of in a lake or sea and than that individual haunting the area and trying to call others to their deaths and subsequently "feed" on their life force. It stemmed from Richard's own fascination with his own experiences of paranormal events.

lyrics

Pagan Seas


As I bleed,
It leaves my head,
No more ache,
Yeah, and no more pain,
And no more you driving me insane,
Still, I hear my culling song,
And I want to sing along,

Oooow, hey!
It’s all I ever wanted,
It's all I ever could do,
It's always been about you,

O, lord they buried me,
Quite unceremoniously,
O, lord they buried me,
Like some Greek-fable tragedy,
Now, I’m drowning in thee,
These cold Pagan Seas,
But still, I hear my culling song,
And I want to sing along,

O, foolish me,
I’ve wounded your pride,
And now it’s time for me to die,
Sinking slowly I see everything,
Rising up just to greet you all,

Oh, I give you a chill,
Your heart will spill,
Into my gizzard you'll fill,
And I just weakened your will,
Still I sing my culling song,
And I want you to sing along,

Swing your polarity,
To my facility,
I will suck you dry,
Substantially,
