Lyrics

I'm on a boat, I am the captain Down below deck, hide in my cabin Riding the waves, hearing them crashing Gone is the crew, I am the last one All I can do, hatches to batten Calling to Zeus, release the Kraken Wearing a noose, losing my traction How did this happen? How did this happen? Out in the blackness not one visible ship on the ocean Mostly afloat, going to nowhere, rowing alone, moaning to no one Sails are in ribbons and tattered, rudder's been shattered, terrible weather has battered Only companion's a bird who keeps chirping and natters, none of this matters That's when I spy with my eye a silhouette on the horizon A hulking and crumbling vessel that silences all of the cries of the sirens The legends about it were true and it seems that I am the first to have seen it If I don't survive then there is no story to tell and no one to believe it She's making her way, anchor's aweigh Every moment that I wait I drift further astray She may run aground, stay here and drown Either way we're going down, down, down Yo ho ho and a broken bottle, empty fodder For the sea to swallow, and I'm following a ghost ship Stuck without a paddle, cancellation of my travel Fragile mind unravels in the shadow of a ghost ship Lost upon the water, taking stock of all forgotten Docking down in Davy Jones Locker on a ghost ship As she advances I'm aghast and asking "Do I vanish Here in madness or take my chances on a ghost ship?" I cannot breathe, blood running cold Proof of the tales that I've been told When was she built? When was she sold? When was she lost? What was the toll? What if she's reached? Breaching her hull? What will I find? What does she hold? What if it's treasure? What if it's gold? What of her souls? What of her soul? Lo and behold, mind spinning, and I'm beginning to find it imminent My minimal time is ticking on by, I'm looking at sinking or swimming and I've the slimmest of chance to be saved, listing away, adrift in dismay But I didn't enlist in this mission with interest in living by digging up graves As she grows so near her appearance brings fear, it Feels like I've been summoned, but am I just hearing her spirits? Steady myself on the railing, accepting my failings, abandon attempts to keep bailing My own ship is fatally ailing, but the derelict craft is somehow still sailing Ghost ship ahoy, life boat deployed There is nothing left here onboard to destroy No moon in the sky, our doom it is nigh Either way we're gonna die, die, die Yo ho ho and a broken bottle, empty fodder For the sea to swallow, and I'm following a ghost ship Stuck without a paddle, cancellation of my travel Fragile mind unravels in the shadow of a ghost ship Lost upon the water, taking stock of all forgotten Docking down in Davy Jones Locker on a ghost ship As she advances I'm aghast and asking "Do I vanish Here in madness or take my chances on a ghost ship?" I'm already on a ghost ship
