[Verse 1]
\nOut on the ocean of life
\n“Ignorance is the parent of fear”
\nAs we sail into strife
\nThe wail draws near<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n“Towards thee I roll”
\n(Pride as my toll)
\nWe set sail….<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n(Never fail? All hail)
\nThe all-destroying wail
\nAs we partake
\n(For hate’s sake)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nTo the last
\n(I grapple with thee)
\nTill I’m past
\n(Flail… the wail’s tale)
\nWail (wail, wail)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nJust take a look and see the sea
\n“All my means are sane”
\nMy motive and objective — mad
\nBrain… lost what little I had<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n“Towards thee I roll”
\n(Pride as my toll)
\nWe set sail….<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\n(Surely fail. All hail)
\nThe all-destroying wail
\nAs we partake
\n(For hate’s sake)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n“Towards thee I roll”
\n(Pride as my toll)
\nWe set sail….<\/p>\n

[Chorus 2]
\n(Sadly fail. Must hail)
\nThe all-destroying wail
\nAs we partake
\n(For hate’s sake)
\nWail!<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(Flail… the wail’s tale)
\nWail (wail, wail)
\nTo the last
\n(I grapple with thee)
\nNo longer can I be
\nAll has past
\n(Flail… the wail’s tale)
\nWail (wail, wail)<\/p>\n
