lyrics

BLOOD IN THE OCEAN – It was getting’ real quiet out here, a little too quiet to be good. Couldn’t see much ‘cept the waves and the glare. We were fools on this ship of wood. And there was blood in the ocean as we captured our fortune. It was time to take action. Still no words were spoken. An explosion rang out of the calm and it shattered our paralyzed minds. It led to the ensuing maelstrom. Our instinct took over in kind. And there was blood in the ocean as we fired our cannons. We knew we were the chosen as we followed our captain. Soon the barrage finally ended. The fire and smoke left us blind. The dead and wounded were attended. Scars on our ship still remind. And there was blood in the ocean and the ship’s deck was crimson. Our faces turned ashen as we sailed off in our coffin.
