I wrestled round with raging squalls
and it's wreaking havoc
I rest my coils to break my crew
their filthy habits
They reign the righteous sailors seeking honest trade
they compromise the kinder calm we all embraceIt's full ahead in spite of all
The sea has teeth that tear you as you rise and fall
As to hope abandon allthis vessel vexes every nerve so tests my patience
But i know it's more than I deserve
this relic of ancients
She's listing like a drunken midshipman ashore
She'll right herself when she in ballast is restored
It's full ahead in spite of all
the sea has teeth that tear you as you rise and fall
as to hope abandon all
