The Captain
Biffy Clyro Lyrics

Angels fall to the floor
I have the power to bring down the heavenly and divine beings as if I were a captain.

Like they would if I was captain
My influence is enough to cause miracles and create chaos in the heavenly realms.

"Silver children," She roared
An angry and powerful woman addresses me as if I were a child.

"I'm not the son of God"
I reject the notion that I am a divine being or have any connection to religion.

Somebody help me sing
I am asking for assistance and support from those around me.

Can anybody hear me?
I am questioning whether or not my pleas are being heard and if there is anyone willing to help.

Liars and lovers combine tonight
People who are dishonest and those who are passionate come together to create something new.

We're gonna make a scene
Our actions will be noticed and will have a significant impact on those around us.

Help me be captain of
I want to take charge of the things that make us weak and vulnerable.

Our crippled disguises
The things that we use to hide our true selves and our weaknesses.

I won't show what's underneath
I refuse to reveal my true self to others.

It's time for surprises
I am ready to reveal something unexpected and surprising to those around me.

I can't climb up your ladder
I cannot succeed using someone else's plan or strategy.

I can't ride your horse
I cannot rely on someone else's strength or success to carry me forward.

I've swallowed half an hourglass
I have wasted time and am now feeling the pressure of time running out.

So now the landscape is swollen up
The situation has become overwhelming and difficult to navigate.

I gave birth to a fire
I have created something powerful and intense.

It's like his features where burning
The passion and intensity of this creation is evident and all-consuming.

I'm in control
I am the one directing and leading this powerful creation.

I am the son of God
I am powerful and divine, with the ability to create and inspire like a deity.

Line up your soldiers one final time
Gather your forces and prepare for one last battle.

We're gonna have a ball
We will enjoy ourselves and make the most of our time together.

Let's love death away
Let us find joy and hope in the face of death and despair.
