lo and behold the captain's struck by fear
all hands on deck a storm astern us nears
the raging waters our ship is covered by sea
will we survive the surge from beneath?
all's wet and freezing the waves are five storeys high
reef all the sails better struggle to save your lives
the raging waters our ship is covered by sea
will we survive the surge from beneath?
all is calm at the eye of the storm
the sea is black like glass
a few of us who are still alive
see the wind start picking up fast
a sailor is tied fast to the helm
his predecessor died on his post
this vessel is now but a floating wreck
it will never bring us back to the coast
the raging waters our ship is covered by sea
will we survive the surge from beneath?
