lyrics

SHIPS AHOY

Verse 1
I only dream on taking this world by force
And leaving nothing for the rest of us.
I don't need your stupid pity. Please.
This city needs no sympathy

Pre Chorus
I'll do whatever it takes,
Just say the word and all the bad guys get blown away

Chorus
In my dreams, I'm king of the promise land
Don't try tell me I'm wrong, (whoa)
I've got the fastest ship at my command
Let's see you catch me if you can

Verse 2
Something has gone from bad to worse.
I see thee judgement in me so he be paid
When this curse is lifted, I'll be on my way home
(When this curse is lifted)
I won't fight fair so you don't know what I know.

Pre Chorus
Just another day, in my own paradise.

Chorus
In my dreams, I'm king of the promise land
Don't try tell me I'm wrong (whoa)
I've got the fastest ship at my command
Let's see you catch me if you can

Breakdown
I know who comes first. Life is cruel.
So why should the afterlife be any different?
(Stop where you're going or you'll die)

Chorus
In my dreams, I'm king of the promise land
Don't try tell me I'm wrong (you're wrong!)
I've got the fastest ship at my command
Let's see you catch me if you can

So why should the afterlife be any different...
