[Intro] Ho, ho, haul that rope Ash in the air, black smoke Ho, ho, last long ride Drums like a war in the tide (hey!) [Verse 1] Boot prints burn in the tar-black deck Old world gone in a waking wreck Salt on my lips, taste gasoline Sky turned red where the blue once leaned Laugh in the blast, got scars for maps Gold in my grin, whole life in scraps [Chorus] Raise your glass to the last tide, brother Sing loud for the ones we won't recover When the waves come high and the stars burn out We go down, we go down With a roar, not a whisper, lover If the world’s gonna end, we end together Let the black sea swallow our shamed old crowns We go down, we go down [Verse 2] Hand on your neck, feel your pulse still fight Ships all sank in our backroom nights You cried, “I’m tired of the same old sins” I said, “Then ride, let the riptide win” Storm in your eyes, flash and crash We kiss like flint, turn fear to ash [Chant Break] Hey! Row, row, row till the oars catch fire Hey! Sing, sing, sing like a funeral choir Hey! End of the world, but our hearts beat higher Hey! Drums in the deep, our only choir [Rap Verse] End scene, screen static in the sky so hollow But we got a crew too damned to follow Rust in my lungs, black flag in my teeth I carve each truth in the plank beneath We ain’t saints, just sinners with a code Split that pain like we split this load If the maps all melt and the coastlines slip We still lock hands when the hullboards rip No king, no throne, just a busted rail Just your voice in the gale sayin, “We don’t fail” If the sun don’t rise and the clocks all stop We still stomp in time till the floorboards pop [Chorus] Raise your glass to the last tide, brother Sing loud for the ones we won't recover When the waves come high and the stars burn out We go down, we go down With a roar, not a whisper, lover If the world’s gonna end, we end together Let the black sea swallow our shamed old crowns We go down, we go down [Outro] Ho, ho, let it crash Hearts beat hard in the splash Ho, ho, one last sound Your name in the dark as we drown (hey!)
