Burial at Sea Lyrics by Metal Church

The Dark

1986

Black scared and bleeding
From the lashes to my soul
I chose to stand my ground
Not do as I was told
Thinking like mindless sheep
These people were my friends
Now I feel abandoned
With a pain that never ends
[Chorus]
My blood is boiling now
On this journey to no avail
On this ship of fools
We're gonna die
Will no one listen to what I say
I saw the charts
I saw the maps
I know we're way off course
Try to stop this captain
His twisted wicked force
We're on a way
To certain death
To drown among the ice
I've got to stop this madness
Or the ship will pay the price
[Solo]
Holding tight the prison bars
As we drift into the mist
I can't believe
This is happening
My guts they wrench and twist
The air is getting colder now
Sailing further north
I back down onto my knees
I cry out to the lord
[Chorus]
In a icy wasteland
The sun begins to set
I see the frozen corpses
Of my shipmates
On the deck
I pull myself up on the rail
Make my one last prayer
Submerge myself in the depths
I drown my lifes despair
[Chorus]
