Nelson's Blood
Nelson's Blood: Sailing through Shadows of Redemption
Lyrics
I'm built to burn them bridges
I am inclined to sever connections and relationships.
Cuz I'm born to die at sea
My destiny involves perishing at sea.
When this ship sails I'll be in it
When the ship sets sail, I will be on it.
Cuz you're better off without me
It's better for you to be without me.
We've weighed all of our options
We have considered all possible choices.
It's leaning toward one choice
The decision is leaning toward a particular option.
The anchors weighed, I've spent my pay
The anchors are weighed, and I've spent my earnings.
I got one last night ashore
I have one last night ashore.
But since we're here let's
Since we are here, let's...
Raise another glass
Toast with another glass.
Forget about the past
Forget about the past.
Poison all the bad blood between us
Eradicate any lingering negativity between us.
Let's take another lap
Lets go for another round.
Pour it down the hatch
Consume alcohol quickly.
Till it's lights out and we're ships passing at night
Continue until we are in the dark, like passing ships at night.
Early in the morning weigh, hey she rises up
Early in the morning, the ship rises up.
Sure I ain't too sober but I need a drop of Nelson's blood
Despite not being completely sober, I need a sip of Nelson's blood.
Pull me down from the taffrail
Pull me down from the taffrail (rear of the ship).
Throw me one hair of the dog
Give me a small amount of alcohol to alleviate my hangover.
Bully boys don't hassle me
Do not bother me, tough individuals.
I won't stowaway for long
I won't hide on the ship for an extended period.
But since we're here let's
Since we are here, let's...
Raise another glass
Toast with another glass.
Forget about the past
Forget about the past.
Poison all the bad blood between us
Eradicate any lingering negativity between us.
Let's take another lap
Lets go for another round.
Pour it down the hatch
Consume alcohol quickly.
Till it's lights out and we're ships passing at night, lets
Continue until we are in the dark, like passing ships at night.
Raise another glass
Since we are here, let's...
Forget about the past
Toast with another glass.
Poison all the bad blood between us
Forget about the past.
Let's take another lap
Eradicate any lingering negativity between us.
Pour it down the hatch
Lets go for another round.
Till it's lights out and we're ships passing at night
Consume alcohol quickly.
Let's raise another glass
Continue until we are in the dark, like passing ships at night.
Forget about the past
Since we are here, let's...
Poison all the bad blood between us
Toast with another glass.
Let's take another lap
Forget about the past.
Pour it down the hatch
Eradicate any lingering negativity between us.
Till it's lights out and we're ships passing at night
Lets go for another round.
