VERSE 1 Tied to the mast, marked with the blade All of the lives that you thought you could save Will sing from the depths that it all ends the same nonetheless
Dig up the corpses of lovers and friends Lash them together to chase your revenge And strike at the sea with the bones of the one you loved best
CHORUS Bourne upon a tide of blood, we struggle towards the shore We leave the sea to crawl upon all fours So tie the noose around your neck, it fits you like a glove There's a million crimes aboard this ship And the worst were done for love
VERSE 2 So draw the blade that can never be sheathed Once your beloved, now just the bereaved But you prop up the bodies and brush off your sleeves without guilt
Spend your whole life on perfecting the prize But late in the night you can still hear the cries Of the corpses amongst the foundations of all that you've built
CHORUS Bourne upon a tide of blood, we struggle towards the shore We leave the sea to crawl upon all fours So tie the noose around your neck, it fits you like a glove There's a million crimes aboard this ship And the worst were done for love
BRIDGE You have been touched by the horror, and now There is no depth of the damned that could sate your appetite Out past the breakers they're waiting, you hear them wail in the night; "CLIMB ABOARD THE BLACK FREIGHTER!!!" (x3) CLIMB ABOARD!!!
OUTRO CHORUS Born upon a sea of blood, we never reach the shore Our best intentions crawl upon all fours So catch the noose that's tossed to you and join the crew above There's a million crimes aboard this ship, But the worst were done for love Done for love! All for love! All for love! ALL ABOARD THE BLACK FREIGHTER!!! ALL ABOARD THE BLACK FREIGHTER!!! CLIMB ABOARD THE BLACK FREIGHTER!!! CLIMB ABOARD!!!
