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
