Songtext von Speak to the Dead

Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning Born below our father's sails Cross the ocean far And the storm will blow, and timbers fail We've lost sight of the stars The king has sent our sorry ship Starving for our pay And as we break our backs, the thunder rolls And he's feasting far away If the Captain would lead us asunder If his pride takes this ship to the brink When his lungs fill with water, I wonder How his hindsight will help when we sink? Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning Sailing nowhere, evermore Never will I rest And the treasure I've been fighting for Is just an empty chest Send me to my Oceangrave Tell my love goodbye I guess I wasn't worth the gold they saved So I'm condemned to die If the Captain would lead us asunder If his pride takes this ship to the brink When his lungs fill with water, I wonder How his hindsight will help when we sink? Speak to the dead and listen well Save our souls from burning Speak to the dead or we meet them instead They will not be returning No, they will not be returning No, they will not be returning
