lyrics

The Western Ocean's unforgiving tides
how the sunlight breaks the water here
reminds me of her eyes
as I sink into that blacking deep
I pray my deep sea mama will come round
and rescue me

the Captain of my vessel
was an old and cruel man
I would not lash my brothers
but only do best as I can
They drug me from my quarters
and they asked me how I pled
and I would not change my story
"into the deep" was what they said

adorned in jewels and golden chains
stolen from the drowning sailors
that she's chosen not to save
Will I be the one to change her mind?
Or will my skin wash from my bones
down here beneath the reach of time

As light falls farther from my eyes
a calmness washes over me
and I am not afraid to die
as she wraps her arms around me
she sings to me
that some day every sailor will come rest down here with me
