He once was told,
"Once you hit the seas everything will change"
Well, he's still waiting for that day
And every single second,
It just gets further away
Left to man the ship,
Left in charge just in spite

"Let your body sink," he says,
"Fate is in your hands"
You beg to have him let you go,
Help; it's your demand
But you were born a murderer,
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light
It's your destiny fulfilled,
To stab our backs with rusty knife

"Please," the boy says,
"It's insanity at best,
I've killed one life too many,
Place the knife upon my chest"
And every single second,
It just gets further away
Left to man the ship,
Left in charge just in spite

"Let your body sink," he says,
"Fate is in your hands"
You beg to have him let you go,
Help; it's your demand
But you were born a murderer,
You killed your mother 'fore you saw the light
It's your destiny fulfilled;
To stab our backs with rusty knife

"Forgive me father, I have sinned,
I've loved you like no other,
Once you reach the pearly gates,
Pass my regards onto my mother"
"I'd love to son, but sadly I won't be flying up to Heaven
It's the fiery pits of Hell below, where I am surely heading"
But it's too late,
The ship has filled
No lifeboats left,
No life jackets
I'll not be your killer,
It's too much of me to ask
You've trained me to become something I never wanted and,
Defy you now I have,
I'll go down with this ship,
Like every other man
