First song we ever made as a band together. Enjoy.

lyrics

Step aboard….
Together we sit in this ship,
Our anchor’s lost, we’ve called it quits,
To sail to land would seal a fate,
A fate that god just cannot change.

To turn around, to retrace steps,
Decisions no one wishes, yet,
The fog is settling tonight,
And we’ve no place to say goodnight.

A boat of 24 lost men, is just asking for their ends.
The short straw has been dealt again…

Fingernails are cracked and split,
I’ve bought my time by spending his.
All I can see are bones and hate,
Of other men who’ve chose this way.
