Redwater

Red water raining from the sky

A cursed man knows when his time is nigh

Red water when the light breaks

The whistle in the wind, it seals my fate

The day we set sail for the South

The crowds they cheered, and the sun shone down

But soon the ice and mist took hold

Trapped us there in the Arctic cold

Did the windstorm leave me blind,

When I shot down that bird of white?

Red water raining from the sky

A cursed man knows when his time is nigh

Red water when the light breaks

The whistle in the wind, it seals my fate

The winds went quiet when the omen fell

And on the tides came a ship from Hell

I watched my men fall one by one

As Death claimed them for what I had done

And she stood there, Death's ghostly bride

Hung round my neck the bird of white

Red water raining from the sky

A cursed man knows when his time is nigh

Red water when the light breaks

The whistle in the wind, it seals my fate

Oh no, red water flows

Curse the tides you're chasing

Oh no, red water flows

Death, he lies in waiting

Oh, no red water flows

Curse the tides you're chasing

Oh, no red water flows

Death's no longer waiting
