Lyrics
Staring out my window
A dawn without a sun
Another start to a new day
And so we sail on
I left my homeland my family
It turned on me
Social rage
Ideology
Fueled me desperately
Our destination was denied
Don't want you people
The cry inside
So we turned north for a chance
Only shoreline did we glance
Will you take me on?
Will you take me in?
We are turned away
We are granted no stay
So we depart broken hearts
Some of us die in the waves
We all know what lays before us
When the St. Louis finally docks
I can't hide who I am
We are the Voyage of the Damned
Our destination was denied
Don't want you people
The cry inside
So we turned north for a chance
Only shoreline did we glance
Will you take me on?
Will you take me in?
Will you take me on?
Will you take me in?
Will you take me on?
Will you be a friend?
