[Verse 1]
Messenger of ages, carried on the wings of second birth
Unto the silent secrets of the earth
Justice generation
Anthem for the sense of purpose we lost

[Pre-Chorus]
We rise above and count the cost
We are the ones the others left behind
Breath of life from the four winds
Watch these bones of death now march again

[Chorus]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world – let's go!

[Post-Chorus]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Verse 2]
Cast off for the journey, join us as we sail the open seas
Unto the great adventure – follow Me
All the world's unwanted
Come aboard and leave your darkness behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Desperate to count, redeem the time
We are the ghosts awakened to the light
Forged and branded in His name
Ancient workmanship before ordained

[Chorus]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There's revolution in the air)
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world!

[Solo: Val]

[Bridge]
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Wo-oh-oh
(Wo-oh-oh)
Oh!
[Chorus]
Pay the piper, here we go
Got a ticket for a one-way journey
(There's revolution in the air)
Slay the viper, come follow, even if you're ordinary
There's a place for you here
(Though you were dead, come alive)
Raise the anchor, all aboard as the Captain calls His misfits
This Ghost Ship
Sets off to shake the world – let's go!

[Outro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
