Lyrics
Roaring Waters
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
An unrelenting siege in a howling gale
Silhouettes with half-pikes on a bloody sail
A silent signal, the long ship comes to ground
See the carnage, listen to the dreadful sound
Roaring waters drowning out our screams
Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
To the Sultan's harems for sex
Contemptuous marauders from a Moorish plain
They came to plunder then they'll sail away again
30 down and counting, no one left to fight
Hear the carnage, look upon this dreadful sight
Roaring waters drowning out our screams
Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
To the Sultan's harems for sex
Fearless captors leering at their latest catch
Salivating at them through the serving hatch
Death, sex, poop decks, the cloying stench of hell
Feel the carnage, take a lungful of this dreadful smell
Roaring waters drowning out our screams
Roaring waters, drag away our daughters
To the Sultan's harems for sex
