The ship is sinking I'm just a passenger The crew have gone crazy They've known all along about the holes in the hold I could jump ship to avoid disaster Welcome the ocean's icy folds The ship is sinking I'm just a witness breathing in this fantastic funeral to the abyss They let the rats aboard to ravage the planks like a lover's hungry kiss All they know is the greedy hoard But You lose it all when you sacrifice the ship

The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking I'm just a passenger The crew have gone crazy They've known all along about the holes in the hold I could jump ship to avoid disaster Welcome the ocean's icy folds The ship is sinking I'm just a witness breathing in this fantastic funeral to the abyss They let the rats aboard to ravage the planks like a lover's hungry kiss All they know is the greedy hoard But You lose it all when you sacrifice the ship
