The sea wrenched up in agony
The sky a beating storm
Lightning blazed with vanity
The clouds a flailing swarm
Nightmares plagued a fitful sleep
The ocean's rolling waves
The spinning curtain of the deep
Brought many to their graves
Iron ships cut through water
Like a knife through sand
Still, even brave men falter
When forced against the seas to stand
The skies release as thrashings cease
The sea begins to dream
The storm withdraws as anger thaws
Its tears no longer stream

The sea wrenched up in agony
The sky a beating storm
Lightning blazed with vanity
The clouds a flailing swarm
Nightmares plagued a fitful sleep
The ocean's rolling waves
The spinning curtain of the deep
Brought many to their graves
Iron ships cut through water
Like a knife through sand
Still, even brave men falter
When forced against the seas to stand
The skies release as thrashings cease
The sea begins to dream
The storm withdraws as anger thaws
Its tears no longer stream
