🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Though the truth may vary, this
  • Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
  • Hey!
  • Hey!

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Though the truth may vary, this
  • Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
  • Don't listen to a word I say (hey!)
  • The screams all sound the same (hey!)
