Attalus - This Ship Is Going Down lyrics

[Verse 1] This sleeping city's going down tonight The tempest will swallow us before we open up our eyes But we tell ourselves that we'll be safe inside Oh no - don't tell me you believed the lies [Pre-Chorus] And we would see it if we'd just wake up Justice will come We must wake up [Chorus] Take my hand and wave them goodbye But don't look back, don't look back Because you might catch fire Take my word, don't swallow their lies The door is open tonight [Verse 2] It's a dog-eat-dog world, or so they say So we flash our teeth at those we meet Because if we're not the hunter we will be the prey If it's survival of the fittest I guess the only winner Is the one who beats the grave But we're all helpless in the waves [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge 1] This ship is going down But you don't have to sink with the rest of them Don't leave it up to fate Tomorrow is too late Come while there's still a choice to make [Bridge 2] This ship is sinking O Man, tell me what are you thinking? We can't escape the waves These walls will be our grave The Tide is coming O Man, what wrecks are we becoming? Dive in the Sea of Grace Before it changes face [Coda] The sky is turning black A sign that justice is at hand Will you embrace the sea Or will you face it like a man? This ship is going down The time will come to pay your debt The sea will be your judge But will it be your advocate? [Outro] Lift your eyes Wake, O sleeper; come to life Don't close your eyes Wake, O sleeper; come to life
