Oh Captain, Our Captain

By NapoleonsLust

its a stormy night!
its a shitty night!
we're getting swept up to the shore,
we've hit the rocks captain
we're gonna have to swim.
men are going to die on these rocks!

this night has brought me to my knees,
and this island has nothing that i need.
this place makes me bleed!

salt water in my mouth!
sand i'm my eyes!
morning breaks as i wake,
this nightmare was not a fake.
we have to kill to survive
which one of you is going to die.

that night has brought me to my knees,
and this island has nothing that i need.
this place makes me bleed!

blood in my mouth!
smoke in my eyes!
let me travel though time,
there will be nothing left of us to find.
burn the place down,
i'm so sick of you already.
men are going to die on these rocks!

this day i fell on my knees,
and this island has nothing that i need.
this place makes me bleed!

    The imagery in this is extremely vivid, I actually feel like I'm there. Pretty great!

    I'm unsure if I know the true meaning behind this, but I know how it makes me feel. It's something rare and unique with a quintessential beat.
