The rage of the sea was fierce
Our boat no match for icy spears
The plummet of the temperature
Told us we were dead for sure
Heave, ho, away we go
Let's sail to shores unknown
Hoist up and tie it tight
We'll make it through the night
Heave, ho, the darkness comes
Hold fast and aim your gun
Waves crash and cannons boom
We yearn for daybreak soon
The calm took us by surprise
We stopped to clear our eyes
Sunlight filled the skies
We'd survived the night
Heave, ho, away we go
Let's sail to shores unknown
Hoist up and tie it tight
We'll make it through the night
Heave, ho, the darkness comes
Hold fast and aim your gun
Waves crash and cannons boom
We yearn for daybreak soon
We sailed on through the breaking tides
Thankful just to be alive
We knew it wouldn't last, and then
We'd do it all again
Heave, ho, away we go
Let's sail to shores unknown
Hoist up and tie it tight
We'll make it through the night
Heave, ho, the darkness comes
Hold fast and aim your gun
Waves crash and cannons boom
We yearn for daybreak soon
