"A Sailor's Tale" lyrics

"A Sailor's Tale"

To die is to live it
You brought this on yourself
Blood filled blue waters
You hear the roaring sea

To die is believing
You'll see this one yourself
Guns blazing slower
Opponent knows it's here

A latent threat below
Will we see the morning come?
Aim for the head and hold your guns

I'll save the day
And fire

Take us higher
Bring the fire
Heave the long ropes
Fire all guns
Bring this monster
To the depths of the sea

To die is to live it
Recovering beast in sea
Blood filled black waters
You hear the roaring beast

Too high of a captain
Too drunk by power's yeast
Men gazing fearful
Afraid of reckless seas

The tables turned
It comes with all its hunger
It aims to make this sea their grave

Brave men so lost at sea
Brave yet too weak for me

The water moves
It's coming back and strong
Now for its final strike, reload

The creature is on the move
Too far we are from the cove
Aim for the heart, reload your guns

I'll save the day
And fire

Take us higher
Bring the fire
Heave the long ropes
Fire all guns
Bring this monster
To the depths of the sea

Save me!

The rain, it starts
The clouds are cluttering
The night skies falling heavily

The final confrontation
Of this beast, eating worlds
The smell of blood and guns is here

The skies are blackening
Too far we are from our home
Aim for the beast and stand your ground

The reconcile
The last fight of this tale
It starts, it starts with you

Take us higher
Bring the fire
Heave the long ropes
Fire all guns
Bring this monster
To the depths of the sea

No one knows
And no one will
Know this part of the tale

Know this one
My fellow grandchild
There is something, hiding in the sea

They say that no one knows
Eight-armed and vicious
The pain, the price
The maleficent

To live a life scared
Away from waters shadow
I'll tell the tale
Deliverance

Out there on calm wind oceans
In caverns undersea
I smell, I fear
I hear the screaming still

I hear the screaming still
Lamp after lamp it swallows
I hear the screaming still
A sailor's tale of sorrow
