Song lyrics
This captain goes down with the ship
All hands on deck, stand hip-to-hip
I shout the orders, "Shoot to kill!"
I'm dressed to thrill
I'm dressed to thrill

And all my enemies
I want their eyes to see
Their captain walk the plank
Destroy them, rank by rank

Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we grow, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desire alive

Now set the sails to quarter mast
We'll jump the ship, we'll sink 'em fast
Men, follow me to victory
Red as the sea
Red as the sea

And to the cannons roar
Their bodies dance ashore
A pirate's life for me
I won't go quietly

Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we float, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desires alive

And to my damsel in distress
You've made a mess of your new dress [2x]

Sail with me into the setting sun
The battle has been won, but war has just begun
And as we float, emotion starts to die
We need to find a way, just to keep our desires alive

Just to keep our desires alive

This song is my all time favorite Senses Fail song. The screaming makes it perfect, its not too much and not to little.
