06 - Strait of Fire

[Intro – heavy guitar riff] Engines rumbling Across the tide, Steel and diesel In the dark outside. [Verse 1] Radar blinking On the midnight sea, Cargo rolling Through uncertainty. Radio whisper From ship to shore: Something’s shifting Like never before. [Chorus – organ swell] Through the strait of fire, Ships move slow tonight. Through the strait of fire, Under warning lights. Every engine pushing Through the restless tide, Whole world watching The strait of fire. [Verse 2] Markets waiting For the morning bell, Every harbor Feels the rising swell. Voices calling Across the wire, Saying trouble’s In the strait of fire. [Chorus] Through the strait of fire, Ships move slow tonight. Through the strait of fire, Under warning lights. Every engine pushing Through the restless tide, Whole world watching The strait of fire. [Bridge – guitar solo, organ build] Storm on the horizon, Wind across the foam, Every sailor wondering If he’s heading home. [Final Chorus] Through the strait of fire, Ships move slow tonight. Through the strait of fire, Under warning lights. Every engine pushing Through the restless tide, Whole world watching The strait of fire.
