JT Gautreau - Ships Lyrics

(Release that slave at once)

You tell me how I'll never leave
That my heart belongs to you this evening
Trademark me now before I'm gone
That my soul belongs to whoever claims it

The darkest hours are now to come
The wounds once open are now sutured
We plough the land, our knees are sore
You own the past, we own the future

You're gonna take me to the ships
You'll wrap me up, tie me down and cover me
Take me to the cords

At this hour I will be gone
Burn the logs and free the spirits
If I come back I'll trace the dogs
And roam the land to join the guiltless

You cannot hold it back no-more
You had me once and then you freed me
Go back and claim your price back home
They'll build a shrine for your forgiveness

You're gonna take me to the ships
Wrap me up, tie me down and cover me
Take me to the cords

(They discovered they were naked
And that the sin existed, and they owed allegiance
To a king and kingdom from another world, and a god
From another sky)

You're gonna take me to the ships
Wrap me up, tie me down and cover me
Take me to the cords

And you're gonna take me to the ships
Wrap me up, tie me down and cover me
Take me to the
Take me to the cords
