LyricMeaning

We All Went Down With the Ship
Ed Harcourt

We were only doing what the captain said

We all went down with the ship

The cause left splintered only thing I had

We all went down with the ship


The captain calls his pirates and the virgin assassins

But told he would reach paradise

Down is an army with following orders

But see it in his hellous eyes


It pulled out the monsters like deep in the mind

We all went down with the ship

The bayonets rusted on the fiery line

We all went down with the ship


I heard all the men who were sent to the trenches

And those beyond my scrapes

Powers of the british and we go to war

In charge of the light brigade


(Pre-)

And it's a long long way down

To the bed of the sea

Oh I will sink until she

She covers me


We'll suffer for another man's falling

Blindsided by an ego that can't stop

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all fall under the spell of the charmer

Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock


We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say


I never would've taken what the general desired

We all went down with the ship

In the land of the evil and the noble empire

We all went down with the ship


The terrible persuasion of the master's hand

Shadowed in the ark of his rule

This history lesson takes a measure of sand

As the tricks in his thoughts have returned


(Pre-)

And it's a long long way down

To the bed of the sea

Oh I will sink until she

She covers me


We'll suffer for another man's falling

Blindsided by an ego that can't stop

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say

We all fall under the spell of the charmer

Devil's tongue from the shepherd to his flock

We sink to the bottom to rise to the top and say


We were doing what the captain said

We went down, we went down as she went down with the ship
