We All Went Down With The Ship

INTRO We were only doing what the captain said We all went down with the ship The Crow's Nest splintered on the figurehead We all went down with the ship The kamikaze pilots and the virgin assassins Were told they would reach paradise Down is an army with following orders Can see it in these zealous eyes They pulled out the monsters lie deep in the mind We all went down with the ship The bayonets rusted on the firing line We all went down with the ship I heard of all the men who were sent to the trenches And those with the unmarked graves Horrors of the British in the Boer War A Charge of the Light Brigade And it's a long long way down To the bed of the sea Oh I will sink until she She covers me We'll suffer for another man's falling Blindsided by an ego that can't stop We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say We all fall under the spell of the charmer Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say We were only taking what the general desired We all went down with the ship For the good and the evil and the noble empire We all went down with the ship And the gentle persuasion of the master's hand Shadowed in the ark of his rule This history lesson takes a measure of sand As as it twists and distorts every truth And it's a long long way down To the bed of the sea Oh I will sink until she She covers me We'll suffer for another man's falling Blindsided by an ego that can't stop We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say We all fall under the spell of the charmer Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say We were doing what the captain said We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship We were doing what the captain said We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship We were doing what the captain said We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship We were doing what the captain said We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship
