|
He once was told, |
|
"Once you hit the seas everything will change." |
|
Well, he's still waiting for that day. |
|
And every single second, |
|
It just gets further away. |
|
Left to man the ship, |
|
Left in charge just in spite. |
|
"Let your body sink," he says, |
|
"Fate is in your hands." |
|
You beg to have him let you go, |
|
Help; it's your demand. |
|
But you were born a murderer, |
|
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light. |
|
It's your destiny fulfilled, |
|
To stab our backs with rusty knife. |
|
"Please," the boy says, |
|
"It's insanity at best, |
|
I've killed one life too many, |
|
Place the knife upon my chest." |
|
And every single second, |
|
It just gets further away. |
|
Left to man the ship, |
|
Left in charge just in spite. |
|
"Let your body sink," he says, |
|
"Fate is in your hands." |
|
You beg to have him let you go, |
|
Help; it's your demand. |
|
But you were born a murderer, |
|
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light. |
|
It's your destiny fulfilled; |
|
To stab our backs with rusty knife. |
|
"Forgive me father, I have sinned, |
|
I've loved you like no other, |
|
Once you reach the pearly gates, |
|
Pass my regards onto my mother." |
|
"I'd love to son, but sadly I won't be flying up to Heaven. |
|
It's the fiery pits of Hell below, where I am surely heading." |
|
But it's too late, |
|
The ship has filled. |
|
No lifeboats left, |
|
No life jackets. |
|
I'll not be your killer, |
|
It's too much of me to ask. |
|
You've trained me to become something I never wanted and, |
|
Defy you now I have, |
|
I'll go down with this ship, |
|
Like every other man. |
