When the Ships Arrive - Guano Apes

I leave you tomorrow

When you hunt my shadow

You treat me like horror

I’m not feeding your violence

I force you with the silence of love

I’m leaving the harbour

Tear drops to swallow

We stay under water

Till your sonic reaches out for our name

And I will cry out for the ocean

Cause when the ships arrive

I cannot hope for a mayday

They call our names

We will fade away

Will they be ashamed

When we fade away

So who do you follow

Humans of sorrow

Come down into the hollow

Tearing me up in vain

And I will cry out for the ocean

Cause when the ships arrive

I cannot hope for a mayday

And I will cry out for the ocean

Cause when the ships arrive

I cannot hope for a mayday

We are flying like the wind

And diving to the ground

I’m hiding in the sand

Till the night brings us out

And I will cry out for the ocean

Cause when the ships arrive

I cannot hope for a mayday

And I will cry out for the ocean

Cause when the ships arrive

I cannot hope for a mayday
