Lyrics

I guess your probably wise to be leaving.
I know the rats swam to shore, about an hour ago.
And I guess it?s just in the nature of a human being to flee a ship when it?s sinking.
But they keep on pushing me, they keep on crowding me in until I have trouble breathing.
They keep on telling me, self preservation is key and I should stay but their leaving.

But I look around and I see the captain is no where to be found so I?m on my feet and I grab the wheel, I?m steering.
I?ll plant my feet into the ground, I?ll stare the Devil down and grin as I admit to myself....

I guess it?s all up to me

There are tales that I could tell you.
Tales of when the world was new.

Tales of the night that I stood my ground against the waves and the wind that blew.
It said, ?who??

Well it?s night upon the water, where life?s tempests twist and roar.
But I keep the watch fires burning on the sea and on the shore.
What has come will rise again, what has happened once will be.
But this white light keeps on flashing every evening don?t you see?
If my light had not been burning, I know where you?d be....
With the captain and the shipmates at the bottom of the sea.

There are tales that I could tell you.
Tales of when the world was new.
Tales of the night that I stood my ground against the waves and the wind that blew.

I guess it?s all up tome.
