We're setting sail
To the place on the map from which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world on this trip baby
(x2)

Pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay
tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no no

I want to run and hide
Right now

Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin' the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves

But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay
tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow

Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no

Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no

Where's it comin' from or where's it goin' to?
It's just a, it's just a ship of fools
All aboard

Stiamo salpando
Al luogo sulla mappa da cui nessuno è mai tornato
Disegnato dalla promessa del burlone e dello sciocco
Alla luce delle croci che bruciano
Disegnata dalla promessa delle donne e del pizzo
E l'oro, il cotone e le perle
È il posto dove tengono tutta l'oscurità di cui hai bisogno
Navighi lontano dalla luce del mondo in questo viaggio, piccola
(x2)

Paga, pagherai domani
Pagherai
Domani
Pagherai domani

Salvami, salvami dal domani
Non voglio navigare con questa nave di sciocchi, no no

Oh, salvami, salvami dal domani
Non voglio navigare con questa nave di sciocchi, no no

Voglio correre e nascondermi
Proprio adesso

L'avarizia e l'avidità ti porteranno sul mare infinito
Ti lasceranno alla deriva nelle secche
Annegamento negli oceani della storia
Viaggiando per il mondo, non stai cercando niente di buono
Ma sono sicuro che costruirai la tua Sodoma come sapevo avresti fatto
Usando tutte le brave persone per i tuoi schiavi della cambusa
Mentre la tua piccola barca lotta tra le onde di avvertimento

Ma pagherai, pagherai domani
Pagherai
Domani
Pagherai domani

Salvami, salvami dal domani
Non voglio navigare con questa nave di sciocchi, no

Oh, salvami, salvami dal domani
Non voglio navigare con questa nave di sciocchi, no

Da dove viene o dove sta andando?
È solo una, è solo una nave di sciocchi
Tutti a bordo
