Pry your eyes and behold our captain
(rally round his feet!)
As he controls his captive
(bring him to his knees!)
I said behold our captain
(rally round his feet!)
Calling the bold to stand and
(make the coward bleed!)
Strain your chords
Push this chant through the discord
Lift your gall to an end seeking valor
Bred to abound
Through the years our beating pulses stood contending
The skins they indwell
I said behold the captain
(rally round his feet!)
As he controls his captive
(bring him to his knees!)
Behold our captain
(rally round his feet!)
Calling the bold to stand and
(make the coward bleed!)
"So long all you children!"
(Don't Go! We're almost there!)
What do my eyes perceive?
So contrary to the promise that secured us
Now you're nowhere to be found
You cant just up and leave
Abandonment is the thumbprint of that cur who just hit the ground
You lead us straight to hell!
THIS IS HELL
THIS IS HELL
MAKE MY GRAVE
OR ANIMATE MY VEINS
MAKE MY GRAVE
OR ANIMATE MY VEINS
"So long you children"
Were the last words that you said
And now my bones just keep bending to reach for an end
You said brace yourself when the air grows thick
And brace yourself when the world constricts
Pry your eyes and behold our captain
(rally round his feet!)
As he controls his captive
(bring him to his knees!)
I said behold our captain
(rally round his feet!)
Calling the bold to stand and
(make the coward bleed!)
