Here comes the monster so ready yourself
A cupful of ashes, a knife in your belt
Here comes an answer that I harpooned
Dragged it to deck now, so we should know soon
No not another lie from me or you
Oh no it's coming round just like you said
Can't keep my promises, can't keep my head
I'll bring the gunpowder you bring the lead
Crossed up my fingers and let the cord rip
With barely a whisper we set you adrift
You might not come back love, but what if you do?
Hammers and torches just waiting for you
No not another lie from me or you
Oh no it's coming round just like you said
Can't keep my promises, can't keep my head
I'll bring the gunpowder you bring the lead
How can you lie when you're about to die
