The ship's rising up from the sea to the sky, cry, hey, hold on

Just one sorry scream and a desperate cry, cry, hey, hold on

Their lives pass before them before they die, hey, hey, hey The sea yawns around like a boiling hell, cry, hey, hold on

And souls disappear with the toll of that bell, cry, hey, hold on

The arms of the sea they are dragging them down, hey, hold on

And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown, hey, hey, hey How strange when you think that the sea was their way

And a meaningless death is the price they pay

For their living was made from the deep

To their people in comfort and keep, keep all the people and places there

Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace

And the kiss has a salt bitter taste Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea, hey, hold on

And wreckage of things that used to be, hey, hold on

No stone marks the place of that watery grave, cry, hey, hold on

Together they die both the weak and the brave, cry, hey, hold on The arms of the sea they are dragging them down, hey, hold on

And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown, hey, hold on

The sea yawns around like a boiling hell, hey, hold on

And souls disappear with the toll of that bell, hey, hold on Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea, hey, hold on

And wreckage of things that used to be, hey, hold on

No stone marks the place of that watery grave, cry, hey, hold on

Together they die both the weak and the brave, cry, hey, hold on The arms of the sea they are dragging them down, hey, hold on

And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown, hey, hold on

The sea yawns around like a boiling hell, cry, hey, hold on
