and never made it off the beach
to those who won’t make it home

no god there to hear our plea
laid out and desperate
no blood here left to bleed

keep ’em coming and the rye in reach
be it sh-ll shock or heartbreak (or heartbreak)
or dying on a line
no god there to hear our plea
we’ve been laid out and desperate (desperate)

[outro]
so my brother could live to tell
so my brother and i
