Lost at Sea

Will you say a prayer for me my love?

When I'm lost, I'm lost at sea

When the waves are far too great, my love

Will you say a prayer for me?

We raised our sail and set out to cross the Northern Sea that night,

Sixty battle hardened men in silence under veiled moonlight

With cloak of darkness, in our ship, a shapeless form

By oars and wind we fly into the waiting storm

Through ice and wind

The nightmare begins

The captain spoke of riches for our taking on a distant land

With promises of wine, wealth and women, enough for every man

We’d raid the countryside, take the plunder for our own

And we would live as kings, on our island, free to roam

But now the Lord of the Storm rebukes us with his wind and waves

We cry for mercy but no one's there to save us now

The ocean vents her wrath upon our longboat's hull

She hurls us to the depths into the deadly cold

Lying on the broken hull, I awake still in a dream

Adrift now for days and days, floating towards an isle of green

The ship and all her men are gone, taken by the deep

And I alone have lived to tell

My soul, still lost at sea

Will you say a prayer for me my love?

When I'm lost, I'm lost at sea
