The Republic Of Wolves - The Dead Men Stood Together lyrics

They kept their heads in books to drown it out The clinking gla**es of an inlet's open mouth The straits were shaking us in circles now I faked a faster d**h but knew that time was headed south Through all my thinning paint regret We were metallic green and red I was a compa** drawing lines around that point But never getting closer I paid my debts to men in swirling crypts Who swore they'd keep our names alive in man*scripts I kept my sins in tow but you'd let go That's why you moved a little faster We were all just floating dead Drowning in our sunken heads Let hell on board this broken deck And we'll forget our lies And all he knew, he had to leave A shell of skin beneath the sea The only thing he got to see That dead men stand together We are all lost
