Lyrics
We sail this ship of leisure, we lost an innocence
Complacency deceives her, on a sea with no defense
Our glass is full of pleasure, we whitewash over tombs
Our debts are due for seizure, storms they rage, clouds they loom
The martyr's voice reminding, a compass always North
The war is unrelenting; the timeless truth... is moving forth
Hear the groan of aging timber, hear the pitch of rivet nails
Hear the cry of battle songs fill up these tattered sails
For God and good republic we'll empty every hell
Faith is a timeless ember, blazing on with truth to tell
Someday we'll beat these swords into child's play; someday we'll meet reward in eternity.
