Tide and Tempest

[Verse] This creakin' deck tells olden tales Salt-soaked planks where hope derails Ocean's whisper a siren's croon Under endless nights no silver moon [Chorus] Ridin' waves of madness deep Captain's wrath there's no relief Mighty swells drag us below The beast won't rest its vengeance grows [Verse 2] Rows of men with weary backs Ahab’s eyes burn like smokestack tracks Harpoons rust await the fight For a ghost in waters black as night [Chorus] Ridin' waves of madness deep Captain's wrath there's no relief Mighty swells drag us below The beast won't rest its vengeance grows [Bridge] Cello wails like a drowning plea Mournful chords cry out to the sea Tempest churns the water's soul Red skies bleed where leviathans roll [Verse 3] Bloodied hands on fraying ropes We trade our lives for shadowed hopes Ahab swears he’ll bring it down But all I see's a mad king's crown
