I am the captain of a ghostly crew, 
Sail the seven seas with nothing to do. 
The girl that I thought was untrue 
Really loved me. Boo, hoo, hoo. 

Near hidden reefs we appear in the gloom 
Luring mariners to their doom. 
As we're condemned, we condemn others too. 
Who would love me? Who? Would You? 
I'm asking you. 

I'm on the Death Ship, 
I sail the seas alone. 
Death Ship - I can call no port home.
Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind 
Let us in, Let us in! 

I'm on the Death Ship, 
I sail the seas alone. 
Death Ship - I can call no port home.
Lost souls cry to Hell in the wind 
Let us in, Let us in, Let us in! 

I need somebody who will die for me 
To free me of this misery. 
I need someone who will cry for me 
Really Love me. Really.
