lyrics

[high seas]

if you open your sails, beware the waves.
keep your guns at the ready, to tremor and quake.
mind your conquest and sheathe your blame for the captain's sake.
enemy of autonomy, how much more will your disciples take?

when you're burning all the books to hide the power they bestow,
a galley of honest scouts will wait for you to come ashore.
and when the ashes settle, will it even out the score?
i've never met a man so dim to feign a posthistor!

the water is burning. your ships are returning.
but no dock will ever accept you again.

breathe, high seas / toss the traitors down into the deep
we may thieve and may plunder, but never you wander
or else you're cut off at the knees
taste the salt / hear the thunder
sleep with the shipwrecks down under
you call it treason, do not ask the reason
you were never worth a laborer's fee / not a laborer's fee

keep an eye on the lighthouse - now what do you see?
is it home? is it gold? is it security?
now watch as we put out the fires that blazed for centuries
may you lose all hope and abandon me

the men all say you lost yourself a decade long ago
on a mission of importance where deadly seeds were sown
where a boy became a man, and a man became a beast
may you never fight again, may your soul never find it's peace

now the water's on fire/ it's your funeral pyre
i guarantee that your people will remember your sins

breathe, high seas / toss the traitors down into the deep
we may thieve and may plunder, but never you wander
or else you're cut off at the knees
taste the salt / hear the thunder
sleep with the shipwrecks down under
you call it treason, do not ask the reason
you were never worth a laborer's fee / not a laborer's fee
