[INTRO – Instrumental Low hurdy-gurdy drone Percussive stomps, crowd claps Ebony Grail slides in with a rising riff] [VERSE 1] I was raised by the creak of a mast at night By curses that danced with the foam A father who ruled with a laugh and a knife And a ship that I called home [PRE-CHORUS] We stole from kings and we paid in scars We drank till the stars gave way If the sea wants blood, she’ll take her due But she never took my sway [CHORUS] So sing it loud, let the tankards spin Let the floorboards hear our sins If tomorrow comes with teeth and flame Tonight we salt the wind [VERSE 2] The docks remember my boots and laugh The ropes still know my hands But I chased a tune past the edge of the map Into unforgiving lands [CHORUS] So sing it loud, let the tankards spin Let the night take everything If fate’s got dice behind her grin Tonight we salt the wind [INSTRUMENTAL SOLO Melodic Guitar solo Folk rhythm under distorted lead Crowd chants the chorus melody] [BRIDGE – Drop to Half-Time] If we drown, we drown in harmony If we fall, we fall in time No grave remembers a quiet soul But the sea remembers mine [FINAL CHORUS – Big] So sing it loud, let the heavens hear Every broken vow we pinned If tomorrow never finds us whole Tonight we salt the wind [OUTRO – Instrumental Fade on chanting voices and crashing chords]
