lyrics

Verse 1:
Abandon all hope
We're lost out at see and a storm's rolling in
Tie up the ropes
Take down the main sail, we'll sink or we'll swing

Man overboard
Is it kinder to leave him or pull him back in
The captain he calls
"Abandon ship! Abandon ship"

Verse 2:
The current it pulls
This ship further out into waters unknown
The buckets are full
As they throw out the water to keep us afloat

The sky it grows dark
As the storm clouds amass all the shadows approach
The captain remarks
From his throne

Chorus
You can't reason with a storm
Only wait for it to pass
You can scream into the wind
But you'll never change a thing
Not now the die's been cast

Verse 3:
The compass points North
But we still have no clue which direction is home
We're decades off course
Trying to find our way back to the things that we know

There's no one to help
The dark clouds mask the stars that show which way to go
We'll descend into Hell
On our own

Chorus

You can scream into the wind
But you'll never change a thing
Not now the die's been cast
