Reminds me of some of the words from "Joe The Georgian" by Al Stewart, discussing Josef Stalin taking over the Soviet Government follow Lenin's death ...
We all set out together on this sorry Ship of State.
When the Captain took the fever, we were hijacked by the Mate,
And he steered us through the shadows upon an angry tide
And cast us, one by one, over the side.
