They packed them tight inside those coffin ships
And took them to the brand new world of auction blocks and whips

From the prison of their lonely hearts they labored

And we're more than:
Plastic Paddies, Crying Games
Gypsy Weddings, coffin ships and Murphy's Law

flee across the sea losing their identity
Coffin ships of rag and skin and bone

Hot potatoes scary ghosts
Now a famine it takes hold

Going on the big crossing
Into the coffin ships
Many of us died
Trying to get a dream

Leaving a broken land
Put down by the empire
With nothing in

of madness, insanity imbuing the air 
The eyes can't see, they can't see

My senses, sailing away, on coffin ships 

Drowning in seas

family is gone now
These vicious waves I ride
Eighteen forty five
Trying to stay alive
The coffin ships they sailed
For manys’ a lonely week
Diseased rats

The lungs ov hell, are filled with rotten blood
An ocean for the damned
Coffin ships amongst the shores
No place to rest

And arms shall stand,

look like memories, just like the road today.
I see pontoons crumbling where the coffin ships began,
to take on the Atlantic drift imagine if you can.

Conquering another race
Sweet concubine
You'll soon be mine
A thousand years of sleep
On a coffin ship
Awaken to black

You'll never need to pay
I'm a coffin ship survivor
I'm manacled to fate
When they come to write the history

On a coffin ship I came here
And I never even got so far
That they would change my name

Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
To a land of opportunity

my face look like some scaryness
Told that bitch to shut up and get
The fuck off my coffin ship
Do not come and start some shit I
Swing and watch him

Climbing back into our lives once more
The dream of you
It can never come true
Cuz this ship has sailed
The coffin's been nailed
My dream
My dream of you
My

was bosses
Catch you with my killa we gone ship yo ass a coffin
Look at all these city folks like they don't even know what you be going through
Smoking

to windward and a lofty ship to lee,
A-sailing down all on the coasts of High Barbaree.


O are you a pirate or a man o'war ? cried we
Blow high !  Blow low !
