[Verse]
Whispers crawl like snakes through the air
A creak in the wood says beware
Shadows twist
They dance
They stare
[Prechorus]
The sails are tight
The night is wide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
Taut ship
Taut ship
Voices in the dark
Taut ship
Taut ship
A flame without a spark
Taut ship
Taut ship
It pulls you apart
[Verse 2]
Lanterns swing like ghosts in a row
The sea hums low
A hymn of woe
The wind carries secrets you’ll never know
[Prechorus]
The ropes are frayed
The mast is high
The stars above
They pierce the sky
[Chorus]
Taut ship
Taut ship
Voices in the dark
Taut ship
Taut ship
A flame without a spark
Taut ship
Taut ship
It pulls you apart
