[concertina intro] [verse, intro] We sailed skirting storm The Waves high Air was warm Rocking boat made hard sleep A mist rise, ghosts of harm [haunting verse] away the spirits played Giving visions to those touched Their deaths we surveyed Our hearts we clutched The storm tossed ghosts Visions of death [tuba solo] [verse, beat switch] I crossed the deck Making way for wraiths Brushed one Pirates came aboard Waving guns and gear I tried to run A pirate shot me one [concertina solo] [haunting verse] I came back to myself Vision burned My fear did I quell Hard land I yearned Mist was a death knell [whispered verse, beat switch] Tempest upon us Thunder overhead Lightning strikes A foam did rise In that surf I could see eyes [tuba solo] [forceful verse] Tiny eyes to creep Across the deck they seeped Eyes of the storm Seeing for their god A massive beast Upon us he would feast knowing I was doomed [forceful verse, beat switch] In the storm He loomed A god of Storm I had been warned But I had to trade For the golden plate Of Ka zags Ruhn [concertina solo] [dreamy verse] The fabled land Across the sea No man returned Only fools and tools look for Ka Zags Ruhn I turned away my sight Lifeboat came to eye [tuba solo] [excited verse, beat switch] I decided to trust my fate I know it was late But to stay was death With Mr. Jones I'd rest Unless I skipped away Heave Ho, Heave Ho [verse] I escaped that day I ran away, my soul forfeit My ship was lost among the waves Now I am laid to rest On the Shores of Ka zags Ruhn [concertina verse] [forceful verse] In the storm He loomed A god of Storm I had been warned But I had to trade For the golden plate Of Ka zags Ruhn [tuba solo] [fading verse, outro] That golden plate Washed next to me I guess it was my fate To live on in Ka Zags Ruhn [end]
