The Wake

[Chorus — all crew shouting] Heave-ho, through the silver and stars, Dal-Quor wakes with its endless scars, Dreams for sails and death for oars, We ride the Wake of Dal-Quor! [Verse 1 — Meat leading] Oh, Baerkhad’s the captain, with a mind half flame, He bargains with shadows, and bends ‘em to shame. With Tuzon beside him, all blade and black roar, They’re the teeth of the Wake of Dal-Quor! [Chorus] Heave-ho, through the silver and stars, Dal-Quor wakes with its endless scars, Dreams for sails and death for oars, We ride the Wake of Dal-Quor! [Verse 2 — Crew call-and-response] Kaelarion mends with a hammer and flame, (“Patch it with spit, lads, it flies just the same!”) D1XL4P charts the void, though Tom squeaks in war, And the stars bend around Dal-Quor! [Chorus] Heave-ho, through the silver and stars, Dal-Quor wakes with its endless scars, Dreams for sails and death for oars, We ride the Wake of Dal-Quor! [Verse 3 — shouted like a tavern song] Thum on the nest with his mockingbird call, Shavarax bellows and terrifies all, Doc Duda stitches what battle made sore, While Meat keeps us drunk, aye, and begging for more! [Final Chorus — faster, rowdy] Heave-ho, through the silver and stars, Dal-Quor wakes with its endless scars, Drink to dreams and drink to wars— We ride the Wake of Dal-Quor! AYE—THE WAKE OF DAL-QUOR!
