lyrics

Boys, sound the bells
The sun rose from the west today
I doubt we'll see it set

Oh and boys, bear it well
Put all your paper maps away
Mercator here can't help

Go lift your sails up
For one last swell
Go lift yourselves up
To sound the bells
Sound the bells

Looks like our writing on the wall
Is lorem ipsum after all
A higher tide will wash it all
Wash it all away

The lighthouse keeper's last relay:
Hand shadows and a final wave
Now's the time to rouse yourself
Spend the strength you've saved

Go lift your sails up
For one last swell
Go lift yourselves up
To sound the bells
Sound the bells
