Lyric discussion by JeffersonQAlias 

Second verse is "No axe has seen these woods since before your father stood".

After "a sinking ship is still a ship" sounds like "no captain spoke the obit" - obit as in obituary. That would sort of fit the whole sinking ship thing but I'm not 100% on that.

Thanks for posting this, need more of the songs from This is Our Science up here! :)
