I cruised too far
The night before the anchor went up
I put the flag upside down
Lying awake under
A black and comfortless sky
With carnations in my hair
All the evil skulls of the world
Are out for our skin
We'll be dodging bullets for a while
In every blessed night
It feels like I'm slowly going
out with the ebb
Everything grows dark inside me
As though the night was pushing through my pores
I'll go the way of all flesh
Go on and sing
You heavenly muse
Hallowed be Thy Name
I don't want to rattle and groan
Back off, back off, just let me go
This one last time
Wild and free
Sing heavenly muse
Hallowed be Thy Name
Sing a song on my deathbed
