The waves are crashing louder now In the storm they said would never be We sit here drifting like a grazing cow Lost and aimless in the sea Knowing we have already seen our last shore We fear the water like never before Its coming in faster now by the buckets never seen before Its coming in faster now I've heard of this before Our time has come We will soon be free of it all It is time for us to journey home No time to even make a call We fear the watery end We fear the soiled grave Perhaps they will find that we did not bend Perhaps there will not be another wave Maybe we can still be here to see After this storm they said would never be I see the lights but they are not near My captain tells me to give it more speed I do as ordered like a good sailor with no fear Standing here waiting to see if anyone can be freed I can see it now the hull is rising like a pole Passing through the horizon of glass Descending into its watery hole Down below for no man to harass I fear no more for there souls are now in peace I wish they didn't have to go this dreary way I wish they were able to at least leave a piece In the heart a loved one, and may it stay We mark the site for family to comb And see the place that they call home We clear debris to see the scene We clear debris, but no sailor was ever seen
