Ghost Tide

[Intro] Wind howls… rope creaks… We sail where the maps end… Where the sea takes what it’s owed… [Verse 1] Moon bleeds red on the brine so black Sails torn ragged, bones in the rack Compass spins where the devil stands Dead men clinging to our hands Cabin lights burn pale and green No one leaves these shores unseen Eyes all hollow, skin all salt We are the ones the deep didn’t halt [Pre-Chorus] Hark! The tide calls out our name Down in the dark where the eels claim claim You hear the creak, you smell the rot Once we board… you get not got [Chorus] Oh! We sail on the ghost tide Where the lost souls drift and hide Cutlass rusted, curse sewn tight We come for you in the dead of night Black flag waves where the sky turns grey No dawn breaks for our endless day Aaaah… aaaah… Beneath the waves… you’ll stay… you’ll stay [Verse 2] Wood drinks blood and the hull drinks fear We’ve been drowned for a hundred year Gold we stole is all covered in slime We’re trapped between the tide and time Footsteps heavy on empty decks Whispers brushing your neck and necks Don’t look over the rail my friend That’s where your journey ends… ends [Bridge] Thunder cracks… wave crashes loud Captain’s voice like tearing shroud: “Give us your breath… give us your light… Join us in the endless night!” Chains rattle… bones all grind No escape what the sea designed [Chorus] Oh! We sail on the ghost tide Where the lost souls drift and hide Cutlass rusted, curse sewn tight We come for you in the dead of night Black flag waves where the sky turns grey No dawn breaks for our endless day Aaaah… aaaah… Beneath the waves… you’ll stay… you’ll stay [Outro] Fading whispers, water gurgling slow Sails fade into mist and snow… When the moon hangs thin and high… You’ll hear our song… before you die… …come join the crew… come join the crew… …down… below…
