When The Ship Goes Down Lyrics

Open seas head to the wind

Ten thousand miles of dead reckoning

The water started rising didn't clear the deck

Now all is lost but the things we said

Batten down there's stormy weather ahead

You and I pass in the night

When the stars are high and burning bright

The shadows creep in we're all but lost

Full steam ahead into the rocks

Abandon ship no time to stop

When the ship goes down

And the rats start running

Put the life boats out

You know the sharks are coming

Light up the flares

Head for solid ground

You'll find out who you are when the ship goes down

Yeah the truth is found when the ship goes down

Sailed seven seas but its all the same

Will we sink the moon to kill the rain?

Famine feast for all castaways

Shackled down with no escape

Swimming with the devil to a shallow grave

When the ship goes down

And the rats start running

Put the life boats out

You know the sharks are coming

Light up the flares

Head for solid ground

You'll find out who you are when the ship goes down

Yeah the truth is found when the ship goes down
