Dreadnought, Dreadnought Songtext
von Gumshoes

This world will leave you behind
Sand in your mouth and sun in your eyes
As the ship shrinks under the horizon line
This world will leave you behind

The monster sees it′s chance
It sings the song, you dance the dance
You'll be stroking at the ocean with an olive branch
As the monster sees it′s chance

Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Waiting in the shadows down below
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Tell me skipper, do I wanna know?

The world is only blue
The sand was an oasis too
The horizon's where the sea gets through
The world is only blue


The sun is getting old
Still firing clay in broken molds
But even blazing trails go cold
The sun is getting old

Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Leave me here to wither if I may
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Would I miss it if you looked away?

The worst is yet to come
I feel it like I feel what's numb
Can′t play it down by playing dumb
The worst is yet to come

In time we all submit
They gave us a world that turns on a spit
And expected us to sleep in it
In time we all submit

Dreadnought, Dreadnought
It′s meditate or take one to the head
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
I know you're awake, so strike me dead!


And I wanted to steer a battleship
I wanted to feel the cannons hit
I wanted to see the navy drown
And I wanted to hold the moulding back
I wanted to have my skin intact
I wanted to keep my stomach down
And I wanted to deal in killing cuts
I wanted to die in villain′s blood
I wanted to run a monster through, one like you!

Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Every other moment is a bore
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
But I don't do much screaming anymore
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
Someone ought to close those eyes for good
Dreadnought, Dreadnought
The fella in the water says I could

Dreadnought, Dreadnought
I am gonna live to see you die
