Aya Below Deck

Lời bài hát

[Verse 1] Out on the black tide A ship came gliding by No lantern on the mast Just a sick green eye The sails were torn like skin The hull was split and scarred I heard her timbers moan Before she hit the yard [Pre-Chorus] Then the crew stepped up With faces like old bone And one voice cut the night Like iron in the throat [Chorus] Aya, Aya Captain of the dead Aya, Aya Take your name and run instead Aya, Aya She keeps what she has found Aya, Aya And she drags the living down [Verse 2] She wore a coat of tar A ring of old brass keys She smiled at every man Like she already knew the please The net came up with hands The oars came back with rust She paid us in her stare And fed us from the dust [Pre-Chorus] Then the crew stepped up With faces like old bone And one voice cut the night Like iron in the throat [Chorus] Aya, Aya Captain of the dead Aya, Aya Take your name and run instead Aya, Aya She keeps what she has found Aya, Aya And she drags the living down [Bridge] I saw her on the bow When the moon went thin and pale She pointed at my heart Like it was for sale The sea began to kneel The ropes began to sing I jumped before her laugh Pulled me under everything [Final Chorus] Aya, Aya Captain of the dead Aya, Aya Take your name and run instead Aya, Aya She keeps what she has found Aya, Aya And she drags the living down Aya, Aya Hear the chains complain Aya, Aya Never board that frame Aya, Aya When the black waves rise Aya, Aya Don’t meet her eyes
