  • Pry your eyes and behold our captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    As he controls his captive
    (Bring him to his knees!)
    I said behold our captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    Calling the bold to stand and
    (Make the coward bleed!)

    Strain your chords
    Push this chant through the discord
    Lift your gall to an end seeking valor
    Bred to abound
    Through the years our beating pulses stood contending
    The skins they indwell

    I said behold the captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    As he controls his captive
    (Bring him to his knees!)
    Behold our captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    Calling the bold to stand and
    (Make the coward bleed!)

    "So long all you children!"
    (Don't go! we're almost there!)
    "Your road is not yet coming to an end!"
    What do my eyes perceive?
    So contrary to the promise that secured us
    Now you're nowhere to be found
    You cant just up and leave
    Abandonment is the thumbprint of that cur who just hit the ground
    You lead us straight to hell!

    This is hell
    This is hell
    Make my grave
    Or animate my veins
    Make my grave
    Or animate my veins

    "So long you children"
    Were the last words that you said
    And now my bones just keep bending to reach for an end
    You said brace yourself when the air grows thick
    And brace yourself when the world constricts
    And brace yourself for what will come next

    Pry your eyes and behold our captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    As he controls his captive
    (Bring him to his knees!)
    I said behold our captain
    (Rally round his feet!)
    Calling the bold to stand and
    (Make the coward bleed!) Publisher: Capitol CMG Publishing
