Thrice - Burn the Fleet (lyrics)

"Burn the Fleet" by Thrice from their album The Alchemy Index Vol. I: Fire.
I do not own the band nor their music.
School is taking up a lot of my time, but the rest of the Alchemy Index will come!

Lyrics:

In this dark night
We stand or we fall
We are kings now
Or nothing at all
Check your armour
Light up your torch
Touch the flame to sail
Before you head for the shore

And we will burn the fleet
We can never go home
It's on to victory or under ground
Burn the fleet
We'll be heroes or ghosts
But we won't be turned around

The old flag will burn with the sail
And a new one won't fly if we fail
But the fire continues to rise
And it shows not a hint of any fear in our eyes

And we will burn the fleet
We can never go home
It's on to victory or underground
Burn the fleet
We'll be heroes or ghosts
But we won't be turned around

And we will burn the fleet
We can never go home
It's on to victory or underground
Burn the fleet
We'll be heroes or ghosts
But we won't be turned around

I bought all of Thrice's discography, and I rarely do this, but this band is so close to my heart that I want to help them expand in any way possible, they've been with me through good and bad and I'm sure they'll never cease to impress me with ingenuity and devotion to true music that hits the soul...I hope some day I'll attend one of their concerts as I'm not american and I don't see them coming to Eastern Europe any time soon :|

@the4realeddie Eep, you'd better find some way to see them soon, as their next tour is going to be their last before they go on an extended hiatus. Who knows when (or if) they'll play together again.

great song

[LittleShyell]

@undyingdarkness610 Woah, I was just listening to this song when you commented. Weird, haha. But yeah, it's amazing, especially Dustin's vocals.

I liked how you colored the album covers accordingly, or does it just come like that? I've never seen it colored.

[LittleShyell]

@wllychng21 Thanks, but no, I didn't do it myself, haha. Unfortunately, you can't get the CDs in each separate colour; from what I understand, it's only the vinyls that come with that sort of packaging (someone feel free to correct me/elaborate if I'm wrong though, as I've never actually seen the vinyl set for myself).

@thefourthkind44 - Unfortunately, the average music listener has the amount of taste as that same empty soda can. At least there are a few awesome people know better though, eh?

[thefourthkind44]

How is it that generic, corporate songs that have as much meaning as an empty soda can get tens of millions of views while quality videos with music by truly artistic bands like Thrice struggle to get a thousand views?

@thefourthkind44

the masses are educated to be uneducated, and thrice is a band for people who like to think

[the4realeddie]

@LittleShyell I read it on their site. I was very sad to hear that my favorite band will most probably cease to exist but I really hope they'll compose more songs and just leave the touring part...if I understood correctly they are "taking a break" because the tours won't allow them to be with their families anymore...

I started listening to thrice music in october 2006 when I heard lullaby

[undyingdarkness610]

@LittleShyell hehehe, just started off listening to these guys since about a month ago, both vocals and music's great and essential, and yeah especially the vocals
