~ Verse ~
There’s a journey to the truth aboard a sinking ship
The faithless and the frozen hold a steady grip
The city’s on the edge of the land
The sailors can almost taste the sand
Water’s flying up into their starry eyes
The sting can’t take away their appetite for lies
The city’s on the edge of the land
The sailors can almost taste the sand
~ Chorus ~
Oooooh
~ Verse ~
They quarrel and fight and throw men overboard
The guilty bruise their knees praying to the lord
The city’s on the edge of the land
The sailors can almost taste the sand
~ Chorus ~
~ Bridge ~
The baby’s in the cabin
Rocking left to right
The moment he can walk he’s gonna be up there
In the middle trying to join in the fight
~ Verse ~
The land is getting closer but they’re too far down
None of them will make it when the ship hits ground
The city’s on the edge of the land
The sailors can almost taste the sand
Things were pretty ugly when the natives came
Bodies in pieces faces locked in blame
The city’s on the edge of the land
The sailors can almost taste the sand
~ Chorus ~
