lyrics

There's a ship at sea, and it's coming for me across the great divide
And with time I know it will surely start to show the cracks along its spine
And this ship it sails along side great blue whales who sing the whole night through
And when I hear their call my pallbearers bear it all and bring me down to their lagoon

And they'll bring me down to the shoreline
And surely I'll be feeling fine
They'll bring me down to that lake of fire
To rest forever in a casket of white

And the devil knows just where to go to tempt the honest man
It's in his coat pocket right next to his heart with the three ticking hands
And he'll reach right in with this thorny grin and surely he'll begin to shout
“On the twenty-seventh day, contractually we have made, and now your time has all run out”

And he'll bring me down to his shoreline
And surely I'll be feeling fine
He'll bring me down to his kingdom of fire
To burn forever on a funeral pyre

And they'll bring me down to the shoreline
And surely I'll be feeling fine
They'll bring me down to that lake of fire
To sing forever in a demonic choir

And now that you've heard the story of the fallen holy bird
Please heed this message as a warning to the whole god forsaken world

That there's a sea of tranquility on the moon
And I'm bound to go there and it's bound to be soon
A satellite to my delight for endless somber quiet nights
I swear I'll find the other lost souls too
