The End of You |
| Build for me your tightest ship |
| make the oars run swift and fast. |
| Send me out your strongest crew |
| make their hearts and minds steadfast. |
| Bless me with Athene |
| there’s no meaner, she’s the best. |
| For when we hit the roughest seas |
| we’ll need all we can get. |
| You say «sink or swim», what a cruel cruel phrase |
| I’d rather fly, don’t want to get caught in this endless race. |
| The first beast that will appear |
| will entice us with money and fame. |
| If you listen long enough |
| you’ll forget there’s anything else. |
| Tie me to the mast |
| of this ship and of this band. |
| Tie me to the greater things |
| the people that I love. |
| You can walk the plank, do the dead man’s float |
| Never let them see, your heart is pounding full of hope. |
| Let the last storm hit us let it strike at the hardest part. |
| Turn us all to mutiny |
| turn this boat upside down. |
