So long to the good times that I had with you,
You pulled a sword from your purse to run me through,
Now my heart is bleeding like rain,
You hit the bucket of blood that fills my veins,
Hello sorrow, I've known you before,
I'm the hurting soul from a forsaken shore,
The spine of the stingray hit's my behind,
Ever since I can remember, life's been a hinder, oh.

Tether to the tassel, prison to the Bastille,
Fade to fated, these are related to me.

I cling to the faith, it's the faith I keep,
Though the waves you've made have gotten so steep,
To weep right now would be a crying shame,
But for that day I pray to keep me sane,
Give me no dagger, hand me no blade,
I'll endure the day so my life will be saved,
Ahab's beckon will bring me a coffin,
I'll reach the sand as fast as I can, oh.

Tether to the tassel, prison to the Bastille,
Fade to fated, these are related to me.

Tether.

Tether to the tassel, prison to the Bastille,
Fade to fated, these are related to me,
Tether to the tassel, prison to the Bastille,
Fade to fated, these are related to me,
Fade to fated,
Fade to fated,
Fade to fated,
Fade to fated,

(fade)
