Swallowed by the Waves (The Wreck of the Trinculo) Lyrics


Sucked beneath the swell

In the cold dark of the night

South easterly winds

Now inflict their vicious bite

Forced on to the sand

On the 30th of May

90 mile beach

It’s home to this day

Fury of the tide

Turns the blue a foamy white

Perilous for man

To be dealt this luckless plight

Gale bellows down

Starts to tear the planks away

Swallowed by the waves

The sea claims it’s prey

Built in the 19th century

The ocean floor it’s destiny

Final voyage from the sound

Decision made to run aground

Over board and into shore

The seaman swims to sound the call

Everyone now safe on land

The vessel though completely damned

Trinculo

Swallowed by the waves

Trinculo

Built in the 19th century

The ocean floor it’s destiny

Final voyage from the sound

Decision made to run aground

Over board and into shore

The seaman swims to sound the call

Everyone now safe on land

The vessel though completely damned

Feel

The

Crushing power of the waves

Fear

The

Destructive power of it’s gaze

Swallowed by the Waves

Sucked beneath the swell

In the cold dark of the night

South easterly winds

Now inflict their vicious bite

Forced on to the sand

On the 30th of May

90 mile beach

It’s home to this day

Fury of the tide

Turns the blue a foamy white

Perilous for man

To be dealt this luckless plight

Gale bellows down

Starts to tear the planks away

Swallowed by the waves

The sea claims it’s prey

The sea claims it’s prey

Trinculo

Swallowed by the Waves

Trinculo
