The Cost

from In the Wake by Small Time 'Capone

/

lyrics

Mother sat me down upon her knee,
She said, You’ll never understand the cost
Of what it took to give and take and
Bury all the comrades that you’ve lost

Oh, we will fight
Until the dying light
And your ship, it will sway
From the mold and the decay
And this, is how your story ends

The rifles rang across the roaring sea
A shanty for the never dying dead
A tear for them, a sailor's song
And roses lain upon the angry blue

My Father’s Ghost it softly sang to me
Wisdom for the storm yet to come
The wind it whirled above the bow
Telling of the battles far gone fought

Friends they wept over my bodies grave
I said, no don’t you mourn for me
The war I fought was selfish still
Waves they took me down into the depths
