Prisoners of the Sea

Missing home and it sands
Smelling the salt brought by the waves of the sea
Enjoying life in all its simplicity
Rookies sailing afar no land is in sight
No friends or family exists
Only the sun and the moon and the mist

Ahoy mates! Set full sails!
The wind is strong now
It is full speed to open sea!

All we see are raging waves
That destroy whatever is in the way
Prisoners of the sea
So the sailors say

Praying for sun or rain
No wealth could erase the suffering we made to receive
The cannons roar resounding throughout our dreams
We are only serving time
We are fighting a war that doesn’t seem to exist
Follow our captain until the bitter end
Of glory and gold

Here it comes! The storm is up!
All hands on deck now
Batten down for the swell!

All we see are raging waves
That destroy whatever is in the way
Prisoners of the sea
So the sailors say

All we see are raging waves
That destroy what ever is in the way
Prisoners of the sea
So the sailors say

After the storm we are done with the body count
We are four man down and two more in the deep
Turn her around to the port side
Head back for home before we sink!

All we see are raging waves
That destroy whatever is in the way
Prisoners of the sea
So the sailors say

We seen it all and all around
Time to set our feet back on firm ground
Prisoners of the sea never learn

Our hunger for the ocean burns!
