[Verse 1] We boarded at dusk, signed our names in the mist Gold on the rails, but the floor made a hiss Old brass doors and a stain in the seam Like the hull kept a secret it was eager to keep Cards on the table, one grin too wide Silver dress spinning in the corner of my eye Then the rope went slack and the hall went still And the air got heavy like it wanted to kill [Pre-Chorus] Hear that creak in the dark? Something walking the park Something moving below Where the dead water flows [Chorus] Ghost ship, ghost ship, drag us under Ghost ship, ghost ship, split the thunder We hear your call in the rust and the foam Ghost ship, ghost ship, take us home [Verse 2] Saw the wire cut clean, saw the chain go cold Saw the greed in the glass and the bone in the gold Every cabin had a mouth, every mirror had a stare Every laugh turned to dust when we found her there Old blood on the deck, old songs in the wall One by one, they were gone in the hall I ran for the light, but the light went black And the ship said my name when I looked back [Pre-Chorus] Hear that creak in the dark? Something walking the park Something moving below Where the dead water flows [Chorus] Ghost ship, ghost ship, drag us under Ghost ship, ghost ship, split the thunder We hear your call in the rust and the foam Ghost ship, ghost ship, take us home [Bridge] [Whispered] There’s a ballroom full of bones There’s a captain with no face There’s a crown made of rust And a curse that learned your name [Shouted] You can’t outrun the hull You can’t outrun the wreck When the sea wants payment It comes collect by collect [Final Chorus] Ghost ship, ghost ship, drag us under Ghost ship, ghost ship, split the thunder We hear your call in the rust and the foam Ghost ship, ghost ship, take us home Ghost ship, ghost ship, lock the door Ghost ship, ghost ship, want more and more We hear your call in the rust and the foam Ghost ship, ghost ship, take us home
