[Intro - Oceanic Ambience, Distant Accordion] [Verse 1 - Sparse, Gritty Vocal] I saw her in the harbor, black sails against the moon Gold in her belly, death in her wake My crew said "turn away, Captain, that one's marked for ruin" But I planted my flag for fortune's sake [Djent Riff Drop] Took her wheel at midnight Cut the anchor, stole the tide Now I'm bound to her bones forever The wrong ship was my pride [Chorus - Gang Vocals Enter, Full Production] Wrong ship, wrong stars, wrong heading home Wrong ship, these waters claim their own I'm a shadow on the deck where I planted my standard The wrong ship, and I'll sail her alone [Verse 2 - Building] Crew tried to warn me, said her previous captain drowned Mutiny or madness, they never could tell But I saw treasure maps and Spanish gold in every sound Now I see the truth—this ship is hell [Djent Riff Intensifies] The wheel won't turn to port The compass spins and lies Every sunrise finds me further From the land, from the light, from life [Chorus - Fuller, More Desperate] Wrong ship, wrong stars, wrong heading home Wrong ship, these waters claim their own I'm a shadow on the deck where I planted my standard The wrong ship, and I'll sail her alone [Bridge - Breakdown, Spoken/Chanted, Ghostly Backing] I hear new crews boarding every moon Young captains drunk on glory Making the same choice The ocean keeps the story [Whispered backing vocals: "Turn away... turn away... turn away..."] But ambition is a current Stronger than the gale And every captain thinks he'll be The one who'll live to tell the tale [Final Chorus - Maximum Intensity, Full Choir] Wrong ship, wrong stars, wrong heading home Wrong ship, these waters claim their own I'm a shadow on the deck where I planted my standard The wrong ship, and I'll sail her alone Wrong ship, wrong grave, wrong glory found Wrong ship, I'll never make ground Planted my flag on a vessel of hunger The wrong ship pulled me under The wrong ship pulled me under [Outro - Djent Riff Fading, Ocean Sounds, Distant Bell] [Whispered] Turn away... [End]
