The waves are crashing down!

We’re sailing out to sea

Mile after mile under skies so free

Our lives put on the line

While slaving hard for every dime

Wind is your friend, storm is your foe

Set a course, hold on and here we go

Dreaming of our home ashore

Singing like our fathers did before

May the winds guide us well

We are on our way to hell

We are soaked to the core

Will we make it back to shore?

The waves are crashing down!

The fight never stops, come on and push through

You shape us - and we shape you too!

Throw ourselves to merciless tide

Stay strong, stand side by side

Our ship is taken wave by wave

Keeps us above a watery grave

So exposed by the raging sea

Only death may set us free.

Fear for our lives once more

Singing like our mothers did before

May the winds guide us well

We are on our way to hell

We are soaked to the core

Will we make it back to shore?

The waves are crashing down!

Countless souls infuse these bars

Gave their lives for wealth and wars

Stay ashore and save your soul

The sea took me in and swallowed me whole

All that is vain was pulled from me

Sinking down to the bottom of the sea

Just my remorse will stay afloat

My final thoughts as water fills my throat

May the winds guide you well

Just where to, only time will tell

We are soaked to the core

Will we make it back to shore?
