THEOCRACY
"Ghost Ship"
(Matt Smith)

Messenger of ages, carried on the wings of second birth
Unto the silent secrets of the earth
Justice generation
Anthem for the sense of purpose we lost

[Pre-Chorus:]
We rise above and count the cost
We are the ones the others left behind
Breath of life from the four winds
Watch these bones of death now march again

[Chorus:]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world - let's go!

[Post-Chorus:]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Cast off for the journey, join us as we sail the open seas
Unto the great adventure - follow Me
All the world's unwanted
Come aboard and leave your darkness behind

[Pre-Chorus:]
Desperate to count, redeem the time
We are the ghosts awakened to the light
Forged and branded in His name
Ancient workmanship before ordained

[Chorus:]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There's revolution in the air)
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world!

[Solo: Val]

[Bridge:]
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Oh!

[Chorus:]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There's revolution in the air)
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world - let's go!

[Outro:]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
