pack your bags. we set sail at dawn.
bury these ghosts where you found them.
counting three by sea, in the name of the father and of the son.
live by the sword, die by the sword.
live for the dollar, die for the dollar.
respect your father’s wishes.
deathwish. cold water. don’t compromise.
sand in your teeth. salt in your wound.
corrosive blood. keep your chin up, your head above water.
devoured by waves. justice by winds. gutless to gutter.
don’t take his name in vain.
nothing says “terror” like help . nothing says “fear” like save us.
