Dead Men Tell No Tales Letra

I'll flood the ground.

I swear on your grave I'll bury this town,

But not for me, no never for me.



We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty.

You left our lungs for canteens.

You left our ankles for anchors.

We thought your arms were tied behind your back,

But elastic bands tied your hands.

You swim with reckless abandon.



Abandon ship.

Mayday, Mayday

Swim towards shore.

Our captain is overboard.

He punctured wholes in the floorboards,

to flood the bow just in time to bow out.

Abandon ship.

Swim towards shore.

He's overboard and over-bored



In the wake we man our own driftwood orphanage.

A second hand sailor's fleet, to flee.

Left in the wake we man our own driftwood orphanage.

Our captain is overboard and over-bored.

Captain's calling, “ Abandon ship!”



Abandon ship.

Mayday, Mayday

Swim towards shore.

Our captain is overboard.

He punctured holes in the floorboards,

to flood the bow just in time to bow out.

Abandon ship.

Swim towards shore.

He's overboard and over-bored



And there's nothing you can do,

When the water ruins the maps we drew.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Save us from this drowning vessel.



I'll be the salt that resides, from the water that drains from your eyes.

The sting that burns your open wounds.

I'll flood the ground.

I swear on your grave I'll bury this town,

But not for me, no never for me.



We have tested the buoyancy of loyalty.

You left our lungs for canteens.

You left our ankles for anchors.

We thought your arms were tied behind your back,

But elastic bands tied your hands.

You swim with reckless abandon.



And there's nothing you can do,

When the water ruins the maps we drew.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Save us from this drowning vessel.
