lyrics

I knew it had to come to this,
Making my mind up about who I call my friends.
I used to pride myself on loyalty,
But loyalty’s the very thing that I lack.
I climbed my way through the ranks, with disregard for my own,
Now I will die on this ship, I have no place to call home.
I miss the brothers I lost, and now I’m all on my own,
Actions have consequences, God why’d you leave me alone?

You won’t take me alive… This ship is where I die.

By the end of the day, they will know my name.

Another wound, another casualty. There’s vitality inside of me.
And if I somehow fall into their hands, let it be known that I made my stand

I’ve come this far, I won’t go down,
I’m in too deep, please God, don’t let me drown.
And I raise my voice,
To let you know that this is my choice

I’ll sign my soul away
