This Ship Is Going Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This sleeping city's going down tonight
The tempest will swallow us before we open up our eyes
But we tell ourselves that we'll be safe inside
Oh no - don't tell me you believed their lies

[Pre-Chorus]
And we would see it if we'd just wake up
Justice will come
We must wake up

[Chorus]
Take my hand and wave them goodbye
But don't look back, don't look back
Because you might catch fire
Take my word, don't swallow their lie
The door is
The door is open
The door is
The door is open

[Verse 2]
It's a dog-eat-dog world, or so they say
So we flash our teeth at those we meet
Because if we're not the hunter we will be the prey
If it's survival of the fittest I guess the only winner
Is the one who beats the grave
But we're all helpless in the waves
[Pre-Chorus]
And we would see it if we'd just wake up
We must wake up

[Chorus]
Take my hand and wave them goodbye
Don't look back, don't look back 'Cause you might catch fire
Take my word, don't swallow their lie
The door is
The door is open
The door is
The door is open
The door is
The door is open tonight

[Bridge 1]
This ship is going down
But you don't have to sink with the rest of them
Don't leave it up to fate
Tomorrow is too late
Come while there's still a choice to make

[Bridge 2]
This ship is sinking
O man, tell me what are you thinking?
We can't escape the waves
These walls will be our grave
The Tide is coming
O Man, what wrecks are we becoming?
Dive in the Sea of Grace
Before it changes face

[Coda]
The sky is turning black
A sign that justice is at hand
Will you embrace the sea
Or will you face it like a man?

This ship is going down
The time will come to pay your debt
The Sea will be your judge
But will it be your advocate?

[Outro]
Lift your eyes
Wake, O sleeper; come to life
Don't close your eyes
Wake, O sleeper; come to life
