The Tempest

We are all born free,

But forever live in chains,

And we battle to exist and soldier on.

We'll take whatever comes to be

While keeping hopeful melody

And will cruise through the darkness

Until the warmth of dawn.

So row row you bastards.

You never can tell.

Through water like glass

Above a briny hell.

So row a little harder

Come give'r all you can.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

We carry on the burden and we hide our grimace well.

For the day will come for us to mutiny.

But as long as we survive

Our hope and pride they can't deprive.

And we'll carry on our melody

To sing in harmony.

So row row you bastards.

You never can tell.

Over water like glass

Above a briny hell.

So row a little harder

Come give'r all you can.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

So row row you bastards.

You never can tell.

The ocean a tempest

Or the land a stormy hell

So row a little harder

Till bloody ore in hand.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

We are racked from the hardships.

Exhausted by the years.

We can still escape this barren misery.

But even with our shackled wrists

We can fight our way through this.

And we'll power all aboard this ship to total liberty.

So row row you bastards.

You never can tell.

The ocean a tempest

Or the land a stormy hell

So row a little harder

Till bloody ore in hand.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

So row row you bastards.

You never can tell.

The ocean a tempest

Or the land a stormy hell

So row a little harder

Till bloody ore in hand.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.

Or the sea she will best us

We'll never see the land.
