lyrics

Well the sails have lost their hold and the rain is very cold, the captain's lost his nerve and gone below. We're losing numbers fast as comrades climb the mast, the crows nest is a place of much ambition. They swan dive to their death to join the thunder to be swallowed by the sea's eternal hunger.

Soon it's very clear that I'm left alone to steer, but the clouds have blocked the stars that guide my way. Now there's nothing left to do 'cuz the chain is rusted through. It won't be long before i join my brothers who swan dived to their death to join the thunder. To be swallowed by the sea's eternal hunger.

Now here is my captain who somehow braved the storm. A fighter he is my savior and I trust his mighty form. I know he'll save me form this darkness sail this vessel through the fear. He wraps a bloody arm around me and he whispers in my ear...

"Mate you hush your voice, it's time to make a choice. I will not let you live to slow me down. You see I poisoned my own crew killed all except for you, but if you're brave I have a proposition. You could join them if you like, but with me you'll see the sight of the island where the angels go to play"

What kind of things will I hear when I can see the island that my brothers died to show me? And what kinds of music will the angles play for me I wonder as the captain drinks with me.
