I don't care for this world anymore I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores What was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on edge it feels... it makes me feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide we've got to get away I don't want existence to end We must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong We don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenalin Excited but scary to believe what we've become Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners Something willing us To be lord of the flies

Fine the friends and companions Come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices In with mine Come lift up your voices, All grief to refrain For we may or might never All meet here again So here's a health to the company And one to my lass Let's drink and be merry All out of one glass Let's drink and be merry All grief to refrain For we may or might never All meet here again Here's a health to the wee lass That I love so well For her style and for her beauty There's none can excel There's a smile on her countenance As she sits upon my knee There is no man in this wide World as happy as me So here's a health To the company And one to my lass Let's drink and be merry All out of one glass Let's drink and be merry All grief to refrain For we may or might never All meet here again Our ship lies at anchor She's ready to dock I wish her safe landing Without any shock And if I ever I should Meet you by land or by sea I will always remember Your kindness to me So here's a health to the company And one to my lass Let's drink and be merry All out of one glass Let's drink and be merry All grief to refrain For we may or might Never all meet here again
