lyrics
The great waves billow overhead,
The stormy skies tower above me.
The surging masses cry helplessly,
Raging waters swirling endlessly.
A ship is sailing to the bottom of the sea,
Skyward climbs the debris.
The lost souls of the fallen deplore,
Their weeping he seems to ignore.
Down, down, down they fall.
Sailing through the floor.
Let it be known to all,
Their deaths we cannot ignore.
The sun smiles upon their journey.
"The waves ever carry the worthy!"
Their content captain says to them.
Ever singing their happy hymn.
Gliding over the waves,
A ship sails on grace.
Cheers echo 'cross the ocean,
Barrels dripping in pace.
Down, down, down they fall.
Sailing through the floor.
Let it be known to all,
Their deaths we cannot ignore.
The stormy skies tower above me.
The surging masses cry helplessly,
Raging waters swirling endlessly.
A ship is sailing to the bottom of the sea,
Skyward climbs the debris.
The lost souls of the fallen deplore,
Their weeping he seems to ignore.
Down, down, down they fall.
Sailing through the floor.
Let it be known to all,
Their deaths we cannot ignore.
The sun smiles upon their journey.
"The waves ever carry the worthy!"
Their content captain says to them.
Ever singing their happy hymn.
Gliding over the waves,
A ship sails on grace.
Cheers echo 'cross the ocean,
Barrels dripping in pace.
Down, down, down they fall.
Sailing through the floor.
Let it be known to all,
Their deaths we cannot ignore.
