The Vesta is landing   The Vesta is landing   Without a captain, without a crew   Dead in the hull, tied to the wheel   This ship of death, this ship is filled with rats   You better find your mother   You better look for cover   We make a choice, we make it everyday   To get up in the morning and to bear away   You better find some cover   You better outlive your mother   You better find some cover   This ship of death   This ship has a new captain   This ship is landing   We don't need a doctor   We need a sacrifice   We need a sacrifice   You better hide your babies, until the morning   We make a choice, we make it everyday   To get up in the morning and bear away   You better outlive your mother   You better outlive your mother   You better outlive your mother   Turn up the lampposts, stay out of the shadows   This is a plague like no other   We need a martyr, we need a victim   We need a sacrifice   Pray before sundown, send your children to grandma's   Nail a cross to the door   Bear away
