Never Seen Again

Brave men set out to sea in the year 1845

Sent by their king's demand to explore the arctic ice

Course set to north by north deep into the far unknown

Sailing to what became their last voyage on the seas

No one knew they would never return

No one knew they would never come home

And they sailed tall and proud

With strong winds under blue skies

But they would never come home

Cold air runs through the sails

The sea flowing blue in the sun

Proud to be part of this plan

To map uncharted lands

Little did they know they would not return

Brewing in the distance a force of nature

When the storm was over their ship was bogged down

In the land of ice and snow

And they know they would never return

And they know they would never come home

All attempts to break free from the ice were all in vain

And they were never seen again

And they know they would never return

And they know they would never come home

And they sawed down their mast to heat the frozen crew

But they would never come home

And they know they would never return

And they know they would never come home

As their blood turned to ice

As they froze to their deaths

They knew they would never come home
