Caught in the mouth of the hurricane, struck hard by the violent waves Far from shore we have stayed, the ocean doth rage Steer a steady course and be not afraid, and pray for the end of the wind and the rain Tossing the longship's frame, the ocean doth rage Chorus: Oh God, let me not die a straw death Oh guide me home, I am lost at sea Ever grant me the golden streets to tread Oh guide me home, I am lost at sea By the elements I sorely am beset, the tempest lacks no strength Far from shore we have strayed, the ocean doth rage I stand to the wind and look out toward the sky, if it is written now 'tis proud I'll be to die Tossing the longship's frame, the ocean doth rage --Chorus-- --Chorus-- Ramming speed!!
