lyrics

Run brother run, there’s much work to be done
Lest we get picked off one-by-one
The beasts at our feet, they are looking to eat
And they won’t give up ’till we are none

The ship and its hull ain’t made from stone
Yes our skinny bones won’t hold

We’re out here alone in this ocean so cold
And the places we’ve known won’t hold

In time we will find God has left us behind
But take this as peace of mind
For the Toxic below it will sink with our foes
To a fate that will save all mankind

The ship and its hull ain’t made from stone
Yes our skinny bones won’t hold

We’re out here alone in this ocean so cold
And the places we’ve known won’t hold

Our ship and its hull ain’t made from stone
Yes our skinny bones won’t hold

We’re out here alone in this ocean so cold
And the places we’ve known won’t hold
