lyrics
The sea is cold but I am colder,
Here I drift with my old friends,
Heading for land cut off at the knees,
Our ship wrecked, struck down by cruel seas.
The sea swallowed us,
The sea devoured us,
The sea is brutal,
The sea is all of us.
The sky is dead and the waves are death,
The noise! The noise! And the light is faded,
What swims beneath? Ragged teeth or old friends?
Best not think or to dwell on our woes.
The sea swallowed us,
The sea devoured us,
The sea is brutal,
The sea is all of us.
I curse my death and I curse it again,
Still adrift, cold stares from my men,
Land ho, Land ho! Oh, who am I kidding?
I’ll see you ashore and we’ll drink to our end.
The sea swallowed us,
The sea devoured us,
The sea is brutal,
The sea is all of us.
