Ship Of Fools Lyrics

Ship Of Fools (愚人船) - F**ked Up

In the guts of a ship in the middle of the sea

Stands a ring for the rivals for everyone to see

 

They spar around the center of their own duality

 

The audience is full and pressed against the ropes

 

Chanting for the blood of the loser of the bout

The fighters are their fears and symbolize their hope

 

They want to escape but there is no way out

 

The speaker and the spoke the axle and the wheel

 

The teller and the tale the flower and the bee

 

The sword and the steel the beast and the yoke

 

The fish and the sea the prisoner and the jail

 

Like God asking Abraham to kill his only son

 

He cries out for help he stares at the sun

 

He never gets an answer when the day finally comes

 

When David fought Goliath he wasn't bound to lines

Now he'll never hit his mark his opponent makes the rules

He's a servant to the story and a gallery's confines

 

Drifting on a sea of words trapped on a ship of fools

 

The speaker and the spoke the axle and the wheel

 

The teller and the tale the flower and the bee

 

The sword and the steel the beast and the yoke

 

The fish and the sea the prisoner and the jail

 

Sinking on the ship of fools

 

Sinking on the ship of fools

 

Sinking on the ship of fools

 

Sinking on the ship of fools

 

You clamor for an outcome a candid denouement

 

The hunger for a resolution manifests the end

It concludes with an ovation clap the blood off of your hands

 

He knows he couldn't help her when she needed him the most

What he gave her won't undo the one thing that he took

He was the vine around a flower love in a fatal dose

So his story won't endure the losers never write the books

 

The speaker and the spoke the axle and the wheel

The teller and the tale the flower and the bee

 

The sword and the steel the beast and the yoke

 

The fish and the sea the prisoner and the jail

 

The fire and the smoke the starved and the meal

 

The head and the tail the nut from the tree

 

The wax and the seal the dagger and the cloak

 

 

The loss and the grief the hammer and the nail
