The waves are crashing down!
We're sailing out to sea
Mile after mile under skies so free
Our lives put on the line
While slaving hard for every dime
Wind is your friend, storm is your foe
Set a course, hold on and here we go
Dreaming of our home ashore
Singing like our fathers did before
May the winds guide us well
We are on our way to hell
We are soaked to the core
Will we make it back to shore?
The waves are crashing down!
The fight never stops, come on and push through
You shape us - and we shape you too!
Throw ourselves to merciless tide
Stay strong, stand side by side
Our ship is taken wave by wave
Keeps us above a watery grave
So exposed by the raging sea
Only death may set us free.
Fear for our lives once more
Singing like our mothers did before
May the winds guide us well
We are on our way to hell
We are soaked to the core
Will we make it back to shore?
The waves are crashing down!
Countless souls infuse these bars
Gave their lives for wealth and wars
Stay ashore and save your soul
The sea took me in and swallowed me whole
All that is vain was pulled from me
Sinking down to the bottom of the sea
Just my remorse will stay afloat
My final thoughts as water fills my throat
May the winds guide you well
Just where to, only time will tell
We are soaked to the core
Will we make it back to shore?
