Dutchman's courage won't banish the fear When ghosts and demons appear Drown all your fear in the wine and the beer You know there's nothing right here Covet attention and cover your ears Don't ask 'is anything fine' Monsters still grin through the wine and the gin You know there's nothing right here Howling dogs, endless fog and madness on the keel Cast adrift, into the rift and no hand on the wheel Hallowes Eve when souls conceive and whisper on the wind Onwards to the darkness where the ancient curse begins Kick up your boots to dead men's flutes Which whistle in the night Stars will spin and cursed men sing The ocean roars delight Wasted lives of daughters, wives All cast upon the water There is nothing right here... Dutchman's courage won't banish the fear When ghosts and demons appear Drown all your fear in the wine and the beer You know there's nothing right here Covet attention and cover your ears Don't ask 'is anything fine' Monsters still grin through the wine and the gin You know there's nothing right here Dutchman's courage won't banish the fear When ghosts and demons appear Drown all your fear in the wine and the beer You know there's nothing right here Sharpen your knives and then pray for your lives As spirits summon you near Then finish the grog... and enter the fog You know there's nothing right here
