• Rats

all hands upon the deck,
we're ridin' on a wreck
don't believe a word about the weather
ain't no sight of land
& no one's in command
so brothers grow some gills, the water's here
raise the banner high,
up to the crimson sky
it'll only reach the sea a little slower
the moon will see the last
of the mighty wooden mast
as it rides the belly down into the sea

& THE SKY HAS TURNED THE COLOR
OP THE COLOR
OF THE BLOOD
WITH THE MORNING BARELY BROKE
ABOVE THE SEA
& THE NIGHT HAS BEEN THE COLOR
OP THE COMING
OP THE FLOOD
WHICH IS PILLING
UP THE BELLY
UNDER YOU
& UNDER ME

the captain is blind,
he doesn't know the time
he probably doesn't know the ship is sinking
the rats are 1st to go.
they sneak into the flow
& drown if they can't swim back to the shore
& you my dearest mate,
just finish up your plate
they've already distributed the poison,
for the rats who choose to stay
won't live to see the day
they'll ride the belly down into the sea

& THE SKY HAS TURNED THE COLOR
OP THE COLOR
OF THE BLOOD
WITH THE MORNING BARELY BROKE
ABOVE THE SEA
& THE NIGHT HAS BEEN THE COLOR
OP THE COMING
OP THE FLOOD
WHICH IS PILLING
UP THE BELLY
UNDER YOU
& UNDER ME

so finish up the rum
yes drink until it's done
the barrels only float when they are empty
cast away your greed
but take what you may need
a blade to cut the muscle from the bone
the preacher hell stay,
he'll bow his head & pray
we all should beg of heaven now for mercy
but nobody will hear
it's someone else who steers
this rotten belly down into the sea

& THE SKY HAS TURNED THE COLOR
OP THE COLOR
OF THE BLOOD
WITH THE MORNING BARELY BROKE
ABOVE THE SEA
& THE NIGHT HAS BEEN THE COLOR
OP THE COMING
OP THE FLOOD
WHICH IS PILLING
UP THE BELLY
UNDER YOU
& UNDER ME
