Lyrics
[Instrumental][drums]
[Intro][deep male voice][powerful][calm, soft, deep voice]
Oh, gather 'round, ye sailor lads,
And hear this tale of fear,
Of roaring waves and winds so mad,
Where none would dare to steer.
[Verse 1][deep male voice]
We set our course for northern climes,
Where icy waters roll,
With hearts so bold and hopes so high,
We pledged our very souls.
[Chorus][male choir][deep male vocals][chanting]
Oh, the North Sea, wild and free,
With waves as high as the sky,
She’ll break your heart and tear apart,
The strongest man’s goodbye.
[Verse 2][deep male voice]
The night it fell, the storm it brewed,
With fury none had seen,
The sails were torn, the mast it cracked,
Against the waves so mean.
[Verse 3][deep male voice]
The wind it howled, the sea it roared,
Our ship a fragile toy,
The crew they prayed, the captain swore,
Amidst that wild convoy.
[Bridge][powerful, strong][deep male vocals]
But the North Sea has no mercy,
For the weak or for the brave,
She’ll take your life without a sigh,
And send you to your grave.
[Chorus][male choir][deep male vocals][chanting]
Oh, the North Sea, wild and free,
With waves as high as the sky,
She’ll break your heart and tear apart,
The strongest man’s goodbye.
[Verse 4][deep male voice]
We lost our way, we lost our hope,
As dawn began to break,
The cold it bit, the frost it nipped,
As men began to quake.
[Verse 5][deep male voice]
But through the storm, a beacon's light,
A hope amidst the dread,
We fought the sea with all our might,
And to the shore we sped.
[Outro][male choir][deep vocals][powerful]
Oh, gather 'round, ye sailor lads,
And heed this warning clear,
The North Sea's call is ruthless, cruel,
So steer your course with care.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus][male choir][deep male vocals][chanting]
Oh, the North Sea, wild and free,
With waves as high as the sky,
She’ll break your heart and tear apart,
The strongest man’s goodbye.
