Lyrics Madrugada – Oceanliner

Oh leaving another soul behind
A steam is rising and we are rolling on
Oh, and here’s a bottle of wine
Let’s drink a toast to the new world arising

The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
The weight of time inside the oceanliner, we go down

Yeah, and it’s about time we were on our way
Oh it’s old times you see her sinking
Oh it’s cold and loud in here
Keep on turning
Keep turning ’round

Oh forest pine, a bitter taste of defeat
Of blood and iron, must away from this heat
Oh and now a cannibal flies, no mercy, for us down here
Oh for the past and the present
Once and for all, we wage war
On the 20th century rising

The weight of time inside the oceanliner made the ship go down
We’re parting, tonight, now with the oceanliner, we go down

And it’s about time we were on our way
Oh it’s old times you see her sinking
Oh it’s coming out loud
And hands just keep on turning
Yeah, oh, keep turning ’round

Oh dangling on an old general’s chest, there’s an old silver head
Oh the spirit of a generation sent to rest with the nation’s best
And all asleep, and grab the hammer and signal, my brother
Oh and leave it for the captain to ponder over
