One fateful night
Well I woke to hear that sound
Like a gunshot
With both windows shaking loud
Great lengthy cries that came racing through the sky
From a fearsome wreck
A great dagger stuck in her deck
Crimson Dawn
My heart was torn
A midnight rescue we were called upon
A freedom fire with burning eyes
A figure tangled up in turning tides
So I cut her free and find
This floating town it'd broke up run aground
When the call came out to put fair Charlotte in
So we ploughed those waves
With a hundred left to save
In the fading light well I held on strong and tight
Crimson Dawn
My heart was torn
A midnight rescue we were called upon
A freedom fire with burning eyes
A figure tangled up in turning tides
I'll stay with you until the morning light
I'll set you free
Sharp rocks we braved
For the last hand I would save
It was a beauty fair
With wild and tangled hair
Thick rope entwined well I cut her free and find
That your fast embrace well I held her face to face
Crimson Dawn
My heart was torn
A midnight rescue we were called upon
A freedom fire with burning eyes
A figure tangled up in turning tides
So I cut her free and find(in turning tides)
So I cut her free and find(in turning tides)
I'll stay with you until the morning light
I'll set you free
I'll stay with you until the morning light
I'll set you free
It was a fateful night when I woke to hear that sound
Like a gunshot with both windows shaking loud
