Graveyard
(verse 1)
perhaps the captain went mad
perhaps the ship sailed through the perfect storm
perhaps the crew encounter pirates who took no prisoners
because they’d be another mouth to feed
because they wished to become sinners
 
now the ship just floats the seven seas
drifting wherever the current leads
home to ghosts of a crew
haunted by rats gone askew
 
(chorus)
drifting through endless fog
rust growing on the sails
a destination it once had
a final voyage to the bottom of the deep blue
like a sinking journey to the crypt
a haunted ship tainted by silence
a graveyard of nothing but unmanned ships
(end chorus)
 
(verse 2)
spotted off the coast of England
whisked away from the land
perhaps they ran out of food and starved
perhaps it was a supernatural force
perhaps they sailed through Bermuda
 
(chorus)
drifting through endless fog
rust growing on the sails
a destination it once had
a final voyage to the bottom of the deep blue
like a sinking journey to the crypt
a haunted ship tainted by silence
a graveyard of nothing but unmanned ships
(end chorus)
 
(chorus)
drifting through endless fog
rust growing on the sails
