[Duet: Captain male and The Sea female] [Intro] (Ohh...) [Verse 1 - Captain] Found an old chart stitched in blood and salt Every crooked line was somebody's fault Told the crew it's honest, told 'em true Lied so smooth I half believed it too Hunger in their eyes before the dawn Not for bread, for glitter further on Told 'em once, I told 'em twice, told 'em more Gold don't care who's knocking at its door [Pre-Hook - The Sea] I've kept every man who chased my floor I don't forget, I only ask for more [Hook 1 - Both] [Captain] What do I chase? [The Sea] The same as before [Captain] What's the cost? [The Sea] The same as the last four [Captain] Dig the world down past the core [The Sea] I'll keep the hold, you keep the door [Both] Heave away, boy, heave away Gold or the grave, you'll sail either way [Verse 2 - Captain] Split the map three ways at Cutlass Bend Watched three friendships meet a violent end Buried kindness back at the last port Kept the compass, lost the man I was before Counted crewmen like they's coin to spend Spent the ones who couldn't keep the pace, my friend The sea don't ask if what you did was right She just takes the ones who lose the fight [Pre-Hook 2 - The Sea] I've counted every man who chased my floor You're the only name I haven't taken yet, for sure [Hook 2 - Both] [Captain] What do I chase, tell me the truth [The Sea] The same thing every man before you chased too [Captain] What's the cost, say it plain [The Sea] Everything, and you'll pay it just the same [Captain] Dig the world down, I don't care what it takes [The Sea] I've heard that line from every wreck I've ever made [Both] Heave away, boy, heave away Gold or the grave, you're already halfway [Bridge - The Sea] Somewhere past the reef the ledger's kept Every man you lost, I've counted, unwept Turn this ship around while you still can I don't hate you, I just don't need a man [Final Hook - Both] [Captain] What did I chase [The Sea] You already know [Captain] What was the cost [The Sea] You paid it long ago [Both] Heave away, boy, heave away Gold or the grave, you're home either way [Outro - The Sea] Heave... ho... Welcome home.
