Song: Ship of Fools
Ship of Fools Lyrics{Verse}
There’s danger on the water, there’s danger all aboard
If you want to make it home, don’t even leave the shore
Think of your darling baby, think of your lovely wife
Come hell or high water, that ship will take your life
Carrying no cargo but madness and disease
You won’t know when it’s coming, but it’ll never leave
The sea will throw a sickening foam, The tide will be running red
You can keep your secrets but the fool knows where they’re hid
Sail away on that ship of sin
One more soul upon this boat, and we’ll be sinking in
This world it has forsaken me, and led me far astray
It’s put me on this ship of fools, to slowly float away
The ship has got your number, It makes you heave and cringe
From the morning you were born, this whole voyage is a binge
There’s meat to eat and booze to drink, I know my portion well
When I’ve finally had my fill, I’m going straight to hell
There’s no salvation for company of this sort
The wind is dead, the sea is bleak, the stars do not report
Bones they do not float, dead flesh it cannot swim
To darker days in a darker place, this demon ark is drifting
Sail away on that ship of sin
One more soul upon this boat, and we’ll be sinking in
This world it has forsaken me, and led me far astray
It’s put me on this ship of fools, to slowly float away
This bitter ship of fools is a blind man’s only guide
There is no moral compass or laws to abide
Sailing through misery, haunted by the past
Headed for disaster with every breeze that hits the mast
Children scream in terror, harbors close their ports
Families hide deep in their homes, behind shutters and doors
Sailors gawk and seagulls flock, no one can help but stare
To Babylon we’re sailing, though we’re already there
Sail away on that ship of sin
One more soul upon this boat, and we’ll be sinking in
This world it has forsaken me, and led me far astray
It’s put me on this ship of fools, to slowly float away
