[Verse 1]

The sailor comes up from below decks, raving drunk

Mumbling to the crew about the spoiled new kid, degenerate punk

He spits and he turns then he stumbles to the stern

And then he sternly, sloppily faces you

Says he’ll erase you

You take a step back and gawk, balk, look around

These sailors are jailers

No allies nowhere to be found

Nothing but neutral faces and the sea on all sides

You rеalize that this drunk could go ahead and end your wholе life


[Chorus]

So many stars in the sky

So many fists flying by

What is this road that I try?

Well, is it time to die?


[Verse 2]

You get laughed at, wharf rat

Spitting up blood, you stand pat

Huffing and heaving you feel gassed

For an old drunk, he throws fast

Another barrage, straight to the gut

And yet his face is uncut

You stagger to stern, you stagger to port

The sailor he laughs with a proud snort

The others now join in, laughing with breaths of stale gin

You suddenly wish you had stayed home

The sailor appears like a cyclone

He’s just like a mad dog, hopped up on old grog

He fakes with the right, he lands with the left

And suddenly all you can see is the deck


[Chorus]

So many stars in the sky

So many fists flying by

What is this road that I try?

Well, is it time to die?


[Verse 3]

The ringing in your ears has gotten oh so loud now

You stagger to your feet again but aren’t quite sure how

The sailor looks at you like

Yo, how how is he even still alive?

He reaches around and grabs a sword

He draws it and then he lets fly

You turn and then start to run

But looking for help, you find none

Running to bow and running to stern, you notice the sea as it starts to churn

Too drunk or too brave, he notices not the rogue wave

You brace yourself and yell to flee

But then with a crash he’s carried to sea


[Chorus]

So many stars in the sky

So many fists flying by

What is this road that I try?

Well, is it time to die?
