[Verse 1]
Beneath the turquoise pools and emerald j**els
There lie the broken spines of seven ships
The skulls of careless fools and coins of gold
Pour from the banks that proffer puckered lips
[Chorus]
I am the king of all of you
The timid land
The unknown sea
And all that lies between
[Verse 2]
So then come away you frail of breath
You feeling tired of life
And scared of d**h
You stain the air with your half hearted wit
A few steps more will make an end of it
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
She'll wander on a strand of dying light
She'll wonder who may answer whispered prayers
The coral and the pearl that hold you tight
May grace the throat of those the ocean spares
