Abandon all hope We're lost out at see and a storm's rolling in Tie up the ropes Take down the main sail, we'll sink or we'll swing Man overboard Is it kinder to leave him or pull him back in The captain he calls "Abandon ship! Abandon ship" The current it pulls This ship further out into waters unknown The buckets are full As they throw out the water to keep us afloat The sky it grows dark As the storm clouds amass all the shadows approach The captain remarks From his throne You can't reason with a storm Only wait for it to pass You can scream into the wind But you'll never change a thing Not now the die's been cast The compass points North But we still have no clue which direction is home We're decades off course Trying to find our way back to the things that we know There's no one to help The dark clouds mask the stars that show which way to go We'll descend into Hell On our own 'Cause you can't reason with a storm Only wait for it to pass You can scream into the wind But you'll never change a thing Not now the die's been cast You can scream into the wind But you'll never change a thing Not now the die's been cast
