(Part One)

What a mistake all of this was
We should not have gone on that ship
But my conscience was saying to
But my conscience was saying to
I couldn't fight my instinct
I couldn't fight my instinct

So I made some plans
I called up my brother
I told him what I was doing
He didn't understand
He couldn't understand
I don't understand
Why did I let myself do this?
Salvatore, why couldn't you talk me out of this?

I had a bad feeling
I needed to be there
For when things go wrong
I needed to be there
For the crew
When things go wrong

Call it intuition
Call me a psychic
For things did go wrong
So gravely wrong
At first, it started out fine
As most things do
As most things do
But I knew it wouldn't last

I kept counting the days
A day of success
A day nothing went wrong
A day of more tension
Any day now, I said to myself
Any day now
I'm not the villain here
I'm not the villain here
But there was a Jonah on the ship
There was a saboteur

I met up with people
I've heard before
On the shortwave bands
A couple

I met someone
I fell in love with
An electrician
What a mistake to fall in love
What a mistake to fall in love
What a mistake to fall in love on a ship
I made an enemy
Without wanting to
Wrong place at the wrong time
Wrong place at the wrong time
But he's not the villain either
He was being stalked
By the saboteur
Not by me

(Part Two)

A friend of one of the sailors had snapped
Tried attacking the captain of the ship
But someone intervened
And with a metal pipe in hand
Ended their life
They ended the attacker's life

Riddled with guilt
They couldn't help themself
We found them in their bunk
With their throat slit
A suicide
We ruled it a suicide

But none were the saboteur
They weren't the saboteurs
A burial at sea
Their bodies in a bag
We threw the first deaths
Into the water
Deadweight as an anchor
The bags sank into the ocean
Like a stone too heavy
Tossed into a puddle

After that, the ship became hell
Flames start to grow

(Chorus)

Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine

(Part Three)

I repeat on the airwaves
In a desperate attempt
To get in contact
With Salvatore

Then the creatures came
Of wings, beaks, talons, and flames
Attackers on the ship
The irony of it all
On the water
Out on the ocean

At that time
Twelve crew members were left
And that was going to change
That was going to change
Someone lured those creatures here
The saboteur lured those creatures here

What the hell was I supposed to do in this situation?
So taken aback at the face of death
Flames touching the ceiling and burning the planks
Talons scratching at the floorboards

Those things killed
Many crew members
But the saboteur is to blame
The saboteur is to blame

The saboteur killed in cold blood
A lover of someone else
On the ship
And the one who loved them
Was filled with anger
Was filled with the want of revenge
When they found the body
Of their lover

And I've lost my lover as well
But to one of those creatures
I found their charred body
In their bunk room

And I've heard
About a cowardly act
That left someone dead
In the talons of
One of those creatures
But none were the saboteur

And I got into a fight
With the one that hated me
Who had started all of our fights
But this one
Someone would lose their life
But none of us would plan on it

Fighting near a hole
That led to a lower floor
The other fell in
Only to meet one of the creatures
Face to face
And dragged away out of sight

I didn't mean this to happen
I didn't mean this to happen
I never wanted to fight
No, I never wanted to fight
It wasn't my fault
Tell me it wasn't my fault
I'm not the villain
I know I'm not the villain

(Chorus)

Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Salvatore, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I convinced myself
To get on this ship
I'll survive for you
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine
Tell our father I'm fine

(Part Four)

Then eight remain
We don't know where the kid went
He broke after the death of his sister
He talked to no one
And distanced himself from everyone
He was not the saboteur

But the saboteur revealed themself
To me and the one who wanted revenge
And they took aim
And killed the saboteur
With bullets
From a shotgun

The co-sailer had spotted land
We wanted off this ship so badly
Fending off the creatures that were still attacking
As the ship continued to crumble

When we crashed into the bank
The ship fell apart
Six of us jumped off the ship
Into the water
And swam to shore
We reached the shore
But we could find the kid
We couldn't find the kid

Pieces of the ship floated on the water
Cargo flotsam
But we weren't safe yet
We weren't safe yet

One of the creatures flew to us
Flew right to me
I was grabbed, but I wasn't killed
Instead, I was cursed
The survivors were cursed
The survivors were cursed

None of us wanted this
None of us that survived, at least

(Outro)

Salvatore! I'm alive!
Salvatore! I'm alive!
Salvatore! Tell our father that I'm alive!
Salvatore! Tell our father that I'm alive!
Salvatore! I'm returning home!
Salvatore! I'm returning home!
Salvatore! Tell our father I'm returning home!
Salvatore! Tell our father I'm returning home!
