The Storm
Navigating the Tempest: Unveiling the Depths of 'The Storm'
Lyrics
Make us ready boys all with wonder born,
Prepare yourselves, boys, born with a sense of wonder.
We`ll guide this fair ship and sail towards the morn,
We will navigate this beautiful ship and head towards the morning.
Come on all alas, now here`s the master dear,
Come on, everyone, alas, here is the dear captain.
I fear this deadly storm is coming to us near.
I'm afraid a deadly storm is approaching us.
We sailed from Plymouth Sound in a week or three,
We sailed from Plymouth Sound in a period of about three weeks.
with not that far to go boys, some canons to retrieve.
We don't have much distance to cover, boys, just need to retrieve some cannons.
The night it grew much darker and the wind it came in strong,
The night became much darker, and a strong wind started blowing.
And it grew upon us lads and there was nothing to be done.
It intensified, and there was nothing we could do to escape it.
The waves grew higher and broke upon our ship,
The waves grew higher and crashed onto our ship.
Then poor old master`s taken with nothing left to grip,
Then, unfortunately, the captain is taken with nothing left to hold onto.
Drop the anchor downwards and throw him out a line,
Lower the anchor and throw him a line.
Poor old master`s overboard he be swalled by the tide.
Unfortunately, the captain is overboard and swallowed by the tide.
So hear my warning that I give to you,
So heed my warning that I give to you.
Be careful when your sailing with that lucky few,
Be cautious when sailing with the fortunate few.
Tie up every deck hand tightly `til the morn,
Secure every deckhand tightly until the morning.
And well go together boys in the belly of the storm.
We will face the storm together, boys, in its tumultuous center.
Don`t go sailing out with me, I fear your soul be lost at sea..
Don't accompany me on this journey; I fear your soul will be lost at sea.
