[Chorus] Pry your eyes and behold our captain (Rally round his feet) As he controls his captive (Bring him to his knees) I said behold our captain (Rally round his feet) I'm calling the bold to stand and (Make the coward bleed) Strain your chords Push this chant through the discord Lift your gall to an end seeking valor We're bred to abound through the years Our beating pulses stood contending the skins they indwell [Chorus] Pry your eyes and behold our captain (Rally round his feet) As he controls his captive (Bring him to his knees) I said behold our captain (Rally round his feet) I'm calling the bold to stand and (Make the coward bleed) So long all you children ( Don't go! We're almost there!) Your road is not yet coming to an end What do my eyes perceive? So contrary to the promise that secured us
You're nowhere to be found You can't just up and leave Abandonment is the thumbprint of that cur who just hit the ground You lead us straight to hell This is hell This is hell Make my grave or animate my veins Make my grave or animate my veins "So long you children" were the last words that you said And now my bones just keep bending to reach for an end You said brace yourself when the air grows thick And brace yourself when the world constricts And brace yourself for what will come next [Chorus] Pry your eyes and behold our captain (Rally round his feet) As he controls his captive (Bring him to his knees) I said behold our captain (Rally round his feet) I'm calling the bold to stand and (Make the coward bleed)
