Andrea Gail
Tempest's Embrace: A Saga of Peril and Passion
Lyrics
The ocean calls
The ocean is summoning.
Beckoning to men with blood of
Inviting those with a deep connection to the sea.
Salt and foam
Referencing the elements of the sea: salt and foam.
The apprehension falls on empty piers
Fear grips the deserted docks.
Where lovers dare not see them off
Parting scenes avoided by lovers.
Aweigh aweigh
Sailors prepare to depart.
Again they yield to her abiding charm
Once more yielding to the allure of the ocean.
No fortune left for the bold
No wealth remains for the brave.
No mercy left in her roll
No compassion in the sea's movements.
Collapse beneath the waves
Imminent sinking beneath the waves.
She's coming on she's coming on strong
The force of the sea intensifies.
The tempest claims her
The storm claims the ship.
Mayday
Distress call.
She steams ahead
The ship moves forward despite danger.
Mayday
Another distress call.
She's courting death
The ship faces perilous circumstances.
The oceans rise
Sea levels rise.
And tragedy abounds beneath a Cerberus sky
Tragedy occurs under a tumultuous sky.
Perfect in its violence as it
The sea's violence is perfect in its nature.
Toils and turns and fights
The sea struggles and contends.
Until the wind drowns out her cries
The sound of the wind overwhelms.
No fortune left for the bold
No wealth remains for the brave.
No mercy left in her roll
No compassion in the sea's movements.
Collapse beneath the waves
Imminent sinking beneath the waves.
She's coming on she's coming on strong
The force of the sea intensifies.
The tempest claims her
The storm claims the ship.
Walls of blue
The sea's walls envelop.
Drag her down
The ship is pulled down by the ocean's expanse.
Never to be found
The ship is lost forever.
No fortune left for the bold
No wealth remains for the brave.
No mercy left in her roll
No compassion in the sea's movements.
Collapse beneath the waves
Imminent sinking beneath the waves.
She's coming on she's coming on strong
The force of the sea intensifies.
The tempest claims her
The storm claims the ship.
Mayday
Distress call.
Mayday
Another distress call.
Mayday
