| When the earth lost it's light | |
| No more sun in the sky | |
| I began to see fear | |
| Even in the very bravest seamen's eyes | |
| A fresh water's sailors fear | |
| Of deliverance and storm | |
| But with good ship and sea roam | |
| We will make it home | |
| The wind began to blow, in fury made waves to rise | |
| A good ship but deep loaden | |
| And with all that in mind we still rolled the dice | |
| Waiting for judgement of heaven | |
| Then the wind increased and so she wallowed in the sea | |
| We had all hands at work to strike the top mast | |
| But as the ropes got stuck we didn't have a chance | |
| It's happening so fast | |
| Waves raging higher | |
| Please let us not die hear | |
| From this violent storm | |
| Save us all | |
| Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky | |
| For this one time | |
| Save us all | |
| The sea went mountain high, it broke upon us all | |
| He wind whipped our sails | |
| I heard the boatswain call and to his death he fell | |
| At once washed away | |
| Our captain prayed for mercy from the violent storm | |
| We all could hear him cry | |
| No time to waste now, cut the mast by the board | |
| Or else we're doomed to die | |
| Waves raging higher | |
| Please let us not die hear | |
| From this violent storm | |
| Save us all | |
| Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky | |
| For this one time | |
| Save us all | |
| The ship was breaking but still the remaining crew | |
| Called all hands to the pumps | |
| As a last cry for help from desperate men at sea | |
| We fired our guns | |
| Waves raging higher | |
| Please let us not die hear | |
| From this violent storm | |
| Save us all | |
| Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky | |
| For this one time | |
| Save us all |
