[INTRO – Night sea ambience, rain, creaking hull, distant horns]
[CREW (low chant, whispered):]
Lanterns low - the sea is awake.
Salt on the tongue - don’t lie today.

[CREW (answer, quiet):]
It takes what falls.
It counts the pay.

[BUILD – stomp grows, strings swell, waves hit harder]

[VERSE 1 – Call & Response, rough unison]
[LEAD:] Wind on the bow - like a knife of cold!
[CREW:] So cold!

[LEAD:] Clouds like walls - turning heaven to stone!
[CREW:] To stone!

[LEAD:]
No tavern song - no luck for free!
[CREW:]
Not free!

[LEAD:]
Just salt and iron and breaking sea!
[CREW:]
Breaking sea!

[BRANNIGAN (spoken, low):]
Hold the line.
Let thunder speak.

[PRE-CHORUS – tension rises, low brass enters, percussion tightens]

[PRE-CHORUS – modal lift, urgent]
[LEAD:]
Hear that groan beneath our feet—
[CREW:]
Not wood… not weak.

[LEAD:]
Something rides under keel and beam
[CREW:]
Old and deep.

LEAD:
Name the curse, don’t look away
[CREW:]
We pay. We keep.

[DROP – full choir and horns]

[CHORUS – big, anthemic, wide choir]
[ALL (sung):]
Oh -  judgement under keel, in salt and steel,
The sea takes names and the sea won’t heal.
Oh -  no harbor home, no gentle tide,
We row with ghosts at the captain’s side.

[CREW (shouts, rhythmic):]
BRASSBEARD!
STAND FAST!

[TURNAROUND – short instrumental run, strings answering the hook]

[VERSE 2 – stronger, more desperate; rain louder]
[LEAD:]
Charts turn black - and the ink runs red!
[CREW:]
Runs red!

[LEAD:]
Hear the drowned ones - counting the dead!
[CREW:]
The dead!

[LEAD:]
A sunken city hums below
[CREW:]
Below!

[LEAD:]
It calls our hull like it calls us home—
[CREW:]
Calls us home!

[BRANNIGAN (spoken, restrained):]
I don’t chase gold.
I chase what’s owed.

[PRE-CHORUS 2 – faster lift, more horns]

[PRE-CHORUS 2 – rising intensity]
[LEAD:]
Wave by wave, it tests our bone
[CREW:]
We won’t fold.

[LEAD:]
Oath by oath, we drag the storm
[CREW:]
We hold.

[LEAD:]
If the sea is judge, then hear our plea
[CREW:]
We pay in full.

[BRIDGE – pull back, eerie choir pads, wind “speaks”]

[BRIDGE – the sea speaks, then rebuild]
[WHISPER CHOIR (like wind):]
Turn back… turn back… the price is near…

[LEAD (quiet, controlled):]
What do you want, you endless deep?

[CREW (oath-like, tight):]
We keep our oath.
We don’t sleep.

[BRANNIGAN (spoken, clear):]
Then come, old sea
I’ll answer you.

[FINAL BUILD – full drums return, horns rise, choir swells]

[FINAL CHORUS – bigger, add new shouts]
[ALL (sung):]
Oh- judgement under keel, in salt and steel,
The sea takes names and the sea won’t heal.
Oh- no harbor home, no gentle tide,
We row with ghosts at the captain’s side.

[CREW (new shouts, alternating):]
OARS UP!
HEARTS HARD!
NO FEAR!
CUT THROUGH DARK!

[OUTRO – slow hold, then fade to sea]

[ALL (slow, heavy):]
Judgement under keel…
But we still ride.

[END – waves, distant horn echo, lantern crackle fades]
