Lyrics
Brave men set out to sea in the year of 1845
Brave men embark on a sea journey in 1845.
Sent by their kings demand to explore the arctic ice
Sent on a mission by their kings to explore the Arctic ice.
Course set to north by north deep into the far unkown
Navigating north into the unknown.
Sailing to what became their last voyage on the seas
Their voyage became their final one.
No one knew they would never return
No one anticipated their permanent absence.
No one knew they would never come home
The realization that they would never return home.
And they sailed tall and proud
Sailing proudly with favorable conditions.
With strong winds under blue skies
Under clear blue skies and strong winds.
But they would never come home
Despite this, they were destined to never return.
Cold air runs through the sails
Cold air flows through the sails.
The sea flowing blue in the sun
The sea appears serene and blue under the sun.
Proud to be part of this plan
Proud to be part of the plan to map uncharted lands.
To map uncharted lands
Commitment to the expedition.
Little did they know they would not return
Unaware that they would not return.
Brewing in the distance a force of nature
A natural force, possibly a storm, emerges.
When the storm was over their ship was bogged down
After the storm, their ship is trapped in the icy land.
In the land of ice and snow
In the land of ice and snow, their predicament deepens.
And they know they would never return
Aware that they won't return or come home.
And they know they would never come home
Confirmation of their tragic fate.
All atempts to break free
All efforts to break free from the ice fail.
From the ice were all in vain
Struggling to escape their icy confinement.
And they were never seen again
Tragically, they are never seen again.
And they know they would never return
Acceptance of their doomed fate.
And they know they would never come home
Resigned to the fact that they won't return or come home.
And they sawed down their mast
Their mast is sacrificed to heat the frozen crew.
To heat the frozen crew
A desperate attempt to survive the harsh conditions.
But they would never come home
Despite the sacrifice, they won't return home.
And they know they would never return
Repeated acknowledgment of their irreversible fate.
And they know they would never come home
Recognition that they won't return or come home.
As their blood turned to ice
Their blood turns to ice as they succumb to death.
As they froze to their deaths
Frozen to death, they are aware they won't come home.
They knew they would never come home
A solemn realization that they will never return home.
