We All Went Down with the Ship

[Verse]

We were only doing what the captain said

We all went down with the ship

The Crow's Nest splintered on the figurehead

We all went down with the ship

[Verse]

The kamikaze pilots and the virgin assassins

Were told they would reach paradise

Down is an army with following orders

Can see it in these zealous eyes

[Verse]

They pulled out the monsters lie deep in the mind

We all went down with the ship

The bayonets rusted on the firing line

We all went down with the ship

[Verse]

I heard of all the men who were sent to the trenches

And those with the unmarked graves

Horrors of the British in the Boer War

A Charge of the Light Brigade

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's a long long way down

To the bed of the sea

Oh I will sink until she

She covers me

[Chorus]

We'll suffer for another man's falling

Blindsided by an ego that can't stop

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all fall under the spell of the charmer

Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

[Verse]

We were only taking what the general desired

We all went down with the ship

For the good and the evil and the noble empire

We all went down with the ship

[Verse]

And the gentle persuasion of the master's hand

Shadowed in the ark of his rule

This history lesson takes a measure of sand

As as it twists and distorts every truth

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's a long long way down

To the bed of the sea

Oh I will sink until she

She covers me

[Chorus]

We'll suffer for another man's falling

Blindsided by an ego that can't stop

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all fall under the spell of the charmer

Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

(x6)

We were doing what the captain said

We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship
