lyrics

This heist, the sheist of the century
for those who oppose and those with no souls
I'm not talking about the run of the mill,
what a robbery
Poisonous cloud in the sea
Pool of black blood in your hands
Brown paper lies, heads they must fly
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye

Wise up fisherman run, run - save your bones
Swallow your tongue and sacrifice your soul
but find your backbone
and rise up fisherman - one man's voice can echo
From the shore to shores unknown,
you'll speak for the spoken for

So tired, so tired of your company
dividing the folk and trying to provoke
Ain't noone can doubt
the shame and disgrace of your policies
Poisonous cloud in the sea
Pool of black blood in your hands
Brown paper lies, heads they must fly
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye

Wise up fisherman run, run - save your bones
Swallow your tongue and sacrifice your soul
but find your backbone
and rise up fisherman - one man's voice can echo
From the shore to shores unknown,
you'll speak for the spoken for

Wise up fisherman run, run - save your bones
Swallow your tongue and sacrifice your soul
but find your backbone
and rise up fisherman - one man's voice can echo
From the shore to shores unknown,
you'll speak for the spoken for
You'll be the voice of every man -
for all the voiceless
