Cyrus (Live) Lyrics

Cyrus the Captain

So far from his ship

His eyes on a past

That he wishes weren't his

Treating his friends

As he's treating his wounds

His turban hides baldness

That shines in the moon

Hoist a flagstaff

Give him a toast

Mourn a sailor

So far from the coast

Wandering sea legs

Just like a lost king

Who's leadership covers

A rotten tooth grin

Doesn't sing music

To recall a life

For death is waste

A loss in a fight

Hoist a flagstaff

Give him a toast

Mourn a sailor

So far from the coast

Drowning in duty

A liable trance

He's losing his youth

To a wicked old man

The gold in his sight

Is a wealth he won't gain

It is missing a child

Some relief from the pain

Hoist a flagstaff

Give him a toast

Mourn a sailor

So far from the coast

Hoist a flagstaff

Give him a toast

Mourn a sailor

So far from the coast
