Attalus - This Ship Is Going Down lyrics

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

And we would see it if we'd just wake up
Justice will come we must wake up

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

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

And we would see it if we'd just wake up
We must wake up

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

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
So come while there's still a choice to make

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

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?

Lift your eyes wake, O sleeper come to life
Don't close your eyes
Wake, O sleeper come to life
