Текст песни O Captein, My Captein! — Flying Prohibited

People say that life is for the damned,
The dust has settled deep.
People say all Hell has come to town,
But I don’t understand,
I don’t understand those human words.
Me, I say that life has turned around,
The dust has settled deep.
This truly is a perfect place I’ve found,
We breathe today, we love, we play,
This world of graves it feeds us.

Death brings life and we brought life to this world.

Lord, what fools these lonely walkers make,
Where a pair of star-crossed lovers sit,
The smells of Heaven keep them lifted.
To fly is for those with feathers,
My soul is in the sky,
So why do my thoughts remain below.

Death brings life and we brought life to this world.
Just bring me down.

The day’s divided by the need to fly,
Adrift above the sky like a plane without a pilot,
Your dreams take me higher.
Guided by the lines, drawn along by your designs,
And your airborne desire,
Oh, your dreams take me higher!

To fly is for those with feathers,
Tell my why the sky is so well-known to me.
Why is your head in the heavens?
Tell me why the sky is so well-known to me.

Death brings life and we brought life to this world.
Down, down down.
