Ghost Ship Lyrics by The Mercury Arc

Paint the Sun Black

0

As far as any eye can see, night and water endlessly
One thousand and one shoreless day, since the blackbird took all hope away
I am tight to the mast of a ghost ship, and it's sinking, I know it's going down!
It floods my lungs with angry tide, the vela is my one last guide
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown!
Helmsman on a mirrored sky. Stars reflecting, drifting by
Time and tide won't wait, it seems, for those for whom the pale moon gleams
No candle lit, to guide me home, I pry for it
Flotsam with a broken mast, sails are torn, and no hope left
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown! ALL HOPE IS GONE!
My final rest for evermore! Tell me...
...who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep down...)
With your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep down..)
Hard to drown!
For evermore I anchor on the ocean floor! For evermore, this is my final rest, forever!
