Seas of blackness to our refuge bring Wraiths who hunt us with hearts of stone On Shark's Isle now we do cower Wait for dawn, wait so forlorn Across the gulf of waters bloodied Men of war with weapons steady Men of war their lust now ready We wait, our future bury ♪ Our menfolk slain, Cossacks knock With devilry this loot unlock Women's lives are but meagre bribes Bodies carved by more than knives They have hung our priest up on high Ripped the children and watched them die Cossacks' axes so very sharp Now tune our ruin like a harp Why? This Isle did lie Why? This night we die They smashed the locks of our homes Vengeance bought through our groans The cries and spells that we cast Didn't work, could not last From victors' pleasures forced upon a bed To this Isle of rocks we fled Now wraiths sent by war through the dark Smell our plight like a shark Why? This Isle did lie Why? Our end is nigh ♪ Baltic tides of conquerors' lust Wash up on shores of fear and rust In Curse's Angel they place their trust Hacking, chopping, singing their disgust ♪ Why Axes swing My Blood on stone Cry Seas are sickened Does not die? Dawn now cannot come
