The Fish Rots From The Head-Case Down

[Intro]
I was once aboard that pirate ship
With tales of angst and insolence
They stole all but my integrity
But my muses live forever in a line of casualties

[Verse 1]
And the captain has a body count
The fish rots from the head-case down
We were all the more for losing teeth
As our journey stood for nothing
But the whims of piracy

[Verse 2]
They call down the plague
Then call it a karmic disease
We call ourselves cursed men
Posing as Libertines

[Verse 3]
So here you are
Not far from where we started
You wrote the darkest book
As you departed
So drink to the bottom one last time my friends
Tonight

[Outro]
When I think about our legacy
Swimming shark infested seas
I would gladly crawl under that rock
To miss the next whatever
And you would be gone forever
But we wouldn’t be gone for good
