Just board this sinking ship roll in the anchor were leaving port not one of us will make it back alive my friend commit my body to the ocean keep my heart inside a locket strung around your neck and together we will sink into the depths
(chorus) like clockwork time will ebb and flow to wash away the footprints left my demons long ago we're hold up in asylum harbor until the storm blows over we've lost the rope and loaded to the gunwale roll in the anchor
The ghost of years past have now return to claim our souls and fill an urn the hourglass is draining by the second spirits are surrounding you their gazes piercing right through your flesh can you taste the reaper on your breath?
(chorus)
Snap the bride's ring finger the flowers of spring have withered in the winter we saw the plague approaching from miles away now we share a brew of misery from the chalice of love as the feast rots on the table (the sun is o'er the yardarm let's raise a glass to waste)
Choose your tomb and I'll choose mine We'll run across these county lines and when we reach the coast we'll turn only to see the smoke that billows up from cities smoldering we left only their ashes in our wake
say goodbye we're sinking down we've fallen off the boat
