went down at the dawn of the world

We mutinied had sentenced our captain to die

   Am                     Fm 
We sank shortly after our riot,  
         Am                       Fm 
Wanton flames and our powder kegs met 
         Am                      Fm 
While I swam for my life became voices aloft,  
 Am                     Fm     
joyful, unearthly, and dread

Too bone tired to keep my arms moving

To swim or even grasp out for straws

Undertow drew me down into its cold  
      Am             Fm 
and infinite, indigo jaws

Thought I must be dead or dreaming 
         Am                      Fm 
When my captain still battered, betrayed 
          Am                   Fm 
Pulled me up, laid me over the beam he clung to 
             Am                      Fm 
Breathed his last and sank under the waves
