[Intro] [Mournful daegeum flute intro] [Spoken] (Whispered) Ajik kkeutnaji anatda... [Heavy Marching Riff] [Verse 1] Broken masts beneath the dawn Drifting through a sea of grey Silent banners kissed the waves Where fallen brothers slipped away Smoke concealed the eastern sky Hope was sinking with the tide Thirteen ships refused to fall With all of Joseon behind [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up] No walls behind us No road to flee No port of shelter— Only the sea! [Chorus] [Massive Choir] Thirteen against the tide! Thirteen beneath a burning sky! Between the enemy and home We stand where countless banners rise! Let the narrow waters roar Let the raging current guide We are not ships upon the sea— We are the sea that turns the tide! [Verse 2] Every wave became a shield Every rock concealed a blade Narrow waters closed like steel Where endless sails were swept away He knew the sea before it turned He led where none would dare to go Through the thunder and the fear One command became our soul [Pre-Chorus] Hold the line against the storm Let the ocean leave its mark! [Chorus] [Massive Choir] Thirteen against the tide! Thirteen beneath a burning sky! Between the enemy and home We stand where countless banners rise! Let the narrow waters roar Let the raging current guide We are not ships upon the sea— We are the sea that turns the tide! [Chant] [Massive Warrior Choir] Joseoneul jikyeora! Mulleoseoji mara! Joseoneul jikyeora! Mulleoseoji mara! [Bridge] [Tempo Decrease] [Solemn] No throne. No crown. No promise of another dawn. [Dynamic Build-up] If fear must choose One man to stand... Let it remember mine! [Guitar Solo] [Haegeum Counterpoint] [Final Chorus] [Explosive Peak] Thirteen against the tide! Thirteen beneath the crimson sky! Between the enemy and home Our oath refused to fade or die! Let the narrow waters roar Let every shattered banner fly! We were not ships upon the sea— We were the sea that turned the tide! [Outro] [Fading Drums] [Spoken Slow] The ships grew old. The kings became dust. Empires passed. But the sea... Remembers. [Outro Solo] (Soft whisper over daegeum) Badaneun gieokhanda... [End]
