[Verse 1] Leave the name upon the dock, leave the man within the grave I’ve traded in my heartbeat for the motion of the wave The mirror shows a stranger with a compass in his grip I’m a passenger in spirit on a hollow, wooden ship I ain't the one who signed the log, I ain't the one you knew There’s a fever in the marrow, and it’s screaming to get through! (Hey!) [Pre-Chorus] The map is etched in silver, but the ink is turning black There’s a hunger in the water and there’s no way turning back I’ve shed the skin I started in, I’ve cast the soul aside For the glitter in the darkness where the ancient terrors hide! (They Do!) [Chorus] Heave away the heavy heart, haul away the gold! We’re hunting for a fortune that these devil's couldn’t hold! I’m a shadow at the tiller, I’m a phantom in the gale With a dead man’s heavy secret and a tattered, ghostly sail! Whatever’s at the bottom, it can take what’s left of me For I’m not the man I started as, I’m a monster of the deep! [Verse 2] The compass doesn't point to North, it points to where I need A garden made of shipwrecked bones and rusted iron reeds I’m wearing someone’s jacket, I’m speaking through their teeth While the "Me" I used to be is drowning somewhere underneath Every league we cover, I’m a little less a man Just a vessel for the hunger, just a piece of someone’s plan! (A higher plan!) [Bridge] Gold in the eye... Gold in the vein... Wash away the memory... Wash away the pain... I’m not Here and I’m not There I'M GROWING COLDER IN MY HEART A DEAD HUNGRY STARE! [Chorus] Heave away the heavy heart, haul away the gold! We’re hunting for a fortune that the devil couldn’t hold! I’m a shadow at the tiller, I’m a phantom in the gale With a dead man’s heavy secret and a tattered, ghostly sail! Whatever’s at the bottom, it can take what’s left of me For I’m not the man I started as before, I’m the monster of the Deep! [Outro] Not myself today... Not myself tomorrow... Just a bag of salt... And a cup of borrowed sorrow... "X" Marked the spot and now I found my Treasure!
