lyrics

Coming home now. I am the life. I am the threat. I am the monk that brings out his dead. Remember fights on your street. Do you recall the smell of defeat? Erase the blame, deny the flame. Build a ship that holds all these waves. Break the mould. Bring this guilt into the night. I am your knife in my gunfight. I am the crow, flying scared in loops. But I am Thor, who sends out his troops. I have to bury all my dreams. I am singing this old song. Oh dear Capt. You got it all wrong. Captain, now what will we do? Continue on this deck and play songs. One more melody before we go. Oh dear Capt. You got it all wrong. Mayday, Mayday, we’re going down. We are making water on this hollow ground. Wear this grudge like a crown. You are wearing it all too well. Mayday, Mayday, it’s going down. Burning in these waters, in these drowning waves. Captain, Captain, what have you done. You are sending us all to hell.
