[Verse 1]
This deck’s their whole existence
Big under endless skies
In its holes, nooks and crannies
Whole generations fought
And died

[Verse 2]
It offered food and shelter
Guaranteed warmth and a roof
Outside its enclosed vastness
The world stood remote
And aloof

[Verse 3]
The deck rocked on occasions
Tilting aside and down
It never ever faltered
And never let them
Drown

[Verse 4]
It rocks the same way today
They don’t pay it any heed
Buried in their calculations
They war to secure their
Needs

[Bridge]
But this time it is different
This time it’s not what it seems
Pretty soon they’ll be surprised
Awoken from their dream

[Chorus]
What would they risk to abandon
If the odds aren’t so steep
Ants fighting over a crumb
On the deck of a sinking ship
What would they dare to gain
What would they choose to keep
Ants battling over a crumb
On the deck of a sinking ship

[Bridge]
But this time it is different
This time it’s not what it seems
Pretty soon they’ll be surprised
Awoken from their dream

[Chorus]
What would they risk to abandon
If the odds aren’t so steep
Ants fighting over a crumb
On the deck of a sinking ship
What would they dare to gain
What would they choose to keep
Ants battling over a crumb
On the deck of a sinking ship

[Outro]
What is there left to snatch
What is worth dying to keep
Ants dying over the last crumb
On a plank
On a plank
On a plank

Of a sunken ship
