Lightning cracks at the break of dawn We're setting sail through the raging storm Gaining speed, our ship the blade Cutting through the crashing waves Roaring winds, a sirens song A wall of water, our headings gone Thunder cracks it won't be long Still we're sailing on The captain calls out, make fast Secure your line, your life to the mast All hands on deck, there's no time now, don't you all wait Cast aside your fears, tie your own rope, seal your own fate Make for the eye Pierce her gaze Full sail ahead And take a brief reprise Tie the canons down Hasten in the sails Full to starboard now Smash a flask of rum! A sudden surge of current Knocks our vessel off its course Pulls us deeper Below to an icy cold embrace A wall of water rising Closes on our flanks The rising waves collide Reduced the ship to planks Lightning cracks as we are torn We're cast adrift in the raging storm Sinking fast we're dragged below Helpless slaves to the undertow Roaring winds cry out our doom Below the water will be our tomb Thunder cracks we will be gone How can we go on One by one the screams subside Circled like prey with nowhere to hide Blood in water draws the beasts to frenzy on our flesh The jaws of death grow tighter now with each and every breath Blood in water draws the beasts to frenzy on our flesh The jaws of death grow tighter now with each and every breath Lightning cracks at the break of dawn We're setting sail through the raging storm Roaring winds cry out our doom Below the water will be our tomb Lightning cracks at the break of dawn We're setting sail through the raging storm Roaring winds cry out our doom Below the water will be our tomb Lightning cracks at the break of dawn We're cast adrift in the raging storm Sinking fast we're dragged below Helpless slaves to the undertow Roaring winds cry out our doom Below the water will be our tomb Thunder cracks we will be gone How can we go on
