Dead Flowers - Ballad Of SS.Tellus

A threadbare ship
A rusty hull
The cabin is overcrowded
The deck is full
The crew doesn't know the ships destiny
There's a rumor aboard about mutiny
So many admirals and so many captains
But no one to take care of you and your complaints
Some say that the owner will put it on dock
Root out the crew and put on a lock
But no one's ever seen him and never heard his name
Just fanatical sailors said he spoke inside their brains
Well talk is a waste
We're stuck on the sea
No land leave is granted
We'll never be free
So we sail away
You better dry your tears
A new day is dawning far away
Let us roll along another thousand years
Doesn't matter
Any longer
Anyway
The engine is exhausted
It soon gonna stop
Some tried to build a lifeboat but soon gave it up
Many couldn't bear it
They fell in the deep
Chose to get into the eternally sleep
It used to bring horror and weeping before
But now we don't care about
Man over board
Indifference is ruling
We just sway in the waves
Living on dreams of the older days
So we sail away
You better dry your tears
A new day is dawning far away
Let us roll along another thousand years
Doesn't matter
Any longer
Anyway
So the ship is sailing with no intention and no aim
And it hits me it's always been drifting this way
The engine is crying in anger and in fear
Forward we go but we ain' t going nowhere
So we sail away
You better dry your tears
A new day is dawning far away
Let us roll along another thousand years
Doesn't matter
Any longer
Anyway
So we sail away
You better dry your tears
A new day is dawning far away
Let us roll along another thousand years
Doesn't matter
Any longer
Anyway
