Cover art for Ghostship Pt I lyrics by Fall of Troy, The

The Ghostships are some of the Fall of Troy's best works, and are slated to be released together (I, IV, and V were released on an EP and II is played live by the band)). I've only heard 4 of them, but I think there will eventually be something like 7 or 8 of them; please correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyway, I've gathered that they tell the story of the unfortunate crew of a ship (I'm guessing some kind of battleship or pirate ship, seeing as how the crew is armed and fire their weapons) and their encounter with a Ghostship. The inhabitants of the Ghostship (or perhaps the ship itself) then attack the unsuspecting crew.

Ghostship Pt. I introduces the characters of the ensuing story and logs their initial meeting with the Ghostship. A fight breaks out, then a crew member notices that the ship begins to sink. The crew is then transported to this surreal, dreamlike Hell world that we see in the later chapters.

man I didn't know that. I always just thought it a weird mistake there wasn't a II

couldn't it possibly be more that the crew wasn't but it was just one of the crew going mad, or getting possessed? I mean, we're only seeing the story from his perspective, right?
