lyrics

We were sent with a warning
But days ago
We lost sight of the shore
The captain went mad
And down below
They’re showing signs
We bolted the portals shut
We sleep to the scratching

We’re dying of thirst
On this black ocean
Another man frozen
Under starcover
Push them over
If nothing else
At least they’re free

That light out there
Must be the shore
Turn to port
Hark, is that the light?
Something moves there
Something living
Call out to it
Cry out to it


Alas, another blind ship in the fog
Starboard - it’s too late
There’s no one living
On that vessel
A mirage of life
Was all it was
A trick born of hope
On this black ocean

There’s no saving us now
The life boats are ablaze
Those skeletons are us
Those mad men are us
The blind ship in the fog is us
Cursed voyage on cursed waters
Buried at sea
We were sent with a warning
