Everybodyduck Walk The Plank Lyrics

NEVER ROCK THE BOAT AND I FIND THAT THE SAILING'S ALWAYS SMOOTH
FROM THE OUTSIDE THINGS SEEM PERFECT BUT THE INSIDE COULD
IMPROVE
I MAKE MYSELF THE ONLY CAPTAIN SO THE RULES ARE ALWAYS CLEAR
WITH NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED ON BOARD, WELL THEN I ALWAYS GET TO
STEER

BUT MY LIFE IS WORTHLESS HERE THOUGH SHIP AND CARGO ARE ALL MINE
'CAUSE AN EMPTY LIFE OF LUXURY IS STILL AN EMPTY LIFE
THOUGH THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD CALLS LIVING BENEATH THESE SAILS
IT'S SUCH A LIE
IF I'M TO EVER TASTE REAL LIFE YOU MAKE IT CLEAR FIRST I MUST DIE

THE CHOICE TO END MY LIFE IS MADE AND I'LL NOT CHANGE MY MIND
THE TIME HAS COME TO WALK THE PLANK AND LEAVE THIS WOULD
BEHIND
STEP OUT BY FAITH AND DIE TO SELF IS ALL THAT YOU ASK ME TO DO
THIS BLOODSTAINED PLANK'S THE ONLY BRIDGE BETWEEN MY SOUL AND
YOU

AND GOD…YOU AND I SO FAR APART
THIS CRUEL CROSS MAKES SUCH A NARROW BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR HEARTS
OVER THE SIDE, SELF CRUCIFIED
WITH DEATH IN MIND I WALK THE PLANK TO SAVE MY LIFE LIKE, A CANYON MY SIN SEPARATES ME FROM THE LIFE YOU GIVE
NOTHING I CAN DO ALONE CAN CAUSE THIS EMPTY HEART TO LIVE
ON THIS SIDE AMIDST MY TREASURE I'M THE KING BUT STILL SO LOST
MY SOUL STARVING FOR THE PEACE THAT WOULD BE MINE IF I COULD
CROSS

BUT DESPITE MY SIN YOU LOVE ME AND THAT LOVE HAS MADE A WAY
TO ESCAPE THIS SINKING SHIP IF I'LL JUST TRUST YOU AND OBEY
OVER THE CROSS ON WHICH YOU DIED FOR ME, THE PLANK'S ON WHICH
YOU BLED
ALL THE JOY OF LIFE FREELY RECEIVED ONCE MY OLD LIFE IS DEAD

THE CHOICE TO END MY LIFE IS MADE AND I'LL NOT CHANGE MY MIND
THE TIME HAS COME TO WALK THE PLANK AND LEAVE THIS WOULD
BEHIND
STEP OUT BY FAITH AND DIE TO SELF IS ALL THAT YOU ASK ME TO DO
THIS BLOODSTAINED PLANK'S THE ONLY BRIDGE BETWEEN MY SOUL AND
YOU

AND GOD…YOU AND I SO FAR APART
THIS CRUEL CROSS MAKES SUCH A NARROW BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR HEARTS
OVER THE SIDE, SELF CRUCIFIED
WITH DEATH IN MIND I WALK THE PLANK TO SAVE MY LIFE
