Lyrics

Strangely calm on an ocean black
Frozen sails are hanging slack
Deck half-covered in ice and snow
Sudden gail begins to blow
Billowing sails are the only view
Left hanging by a lazy crew
Unfurled they will see us drowned
Six ton of pine comes crashing down
Sailor lad your days are done
You're never gonna see another rising sun
Brave or craven, fool or wise
Water and rock are gonna have your lives
With a rudder no use and listing fast
Axes topple the second mast
Ink-black water in the hold
Five lost in the icy cold
Top mast snaps and breaks apart
Ice inside our beating hearts
Canvas sail is ripped to shreds
Hope fades, panic spreads
Sailor lad your days are done
You're never gonna see another rising sun
Brave or craven, fool or wise
Water and rock are gonna have your lives
Flinty rocks are looming high
Grey beneath the midnight sky
Battered ship is cleft in half
Men leap from the ensign staff
Hundreds in the roaring waves
Most sink to a watery grave
Some few reach the rocky wall
Away from death begin to crawl
Sailor lad your days are done
You're never gonna see another rising sun
Brave or craven, fool or wise
Water and rock are gonna have your lives
Sailor lad your days are done
You're never gonna see another rising sun
Brave or craven, fool or wise
Water and rock are gonna have your lives
