Oh
Oh
Oh, the landowners come to see the antasy
They flock to the docks and watch the boxes
And stocks that are dropped from atop of the steamers
And frigates and dreadnoughts and cutters and cruisers
And corvettes and yachts, each and every of 'em a story has got
Here's ours
'Twas dark when we parted the port
And started our voyage to far distant shores
This tiny tub's not the fastest for sure
But I'd rather have her than no transport at all
From humble beginnings, I come for your winnings
There's always a calm before there's a storm
So batten the hatches and pull down your patches
We're passing through Gaeta's Morn 'til we find the dawn
Smell the sea breeze, a cold chill from Neptune's deep freeze
Now, I'm not sure of the maritime law down here
So we'll do as we please
We sail the sea, we sail the sea
The sunless sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea, the sunless sea
We sail the sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea
Tides are lapping on the side, rising damp
Eyes widen with fright, light the lamp
No mind how cramped, we will ride 'til we find any island in sight
Now camp, is that a lighthouse lamp or a giant crab?
Is it a shark or can we disembark?
Oh, rats! Better sink the barge
Although I'm not a whale, I am defo living large
You're a landlubber, I was born in sand, blubber's in my blood
But I look damn good when I scrub up
Any port in a storm, tear the pub up
Three months out at sea means there's going to be some hubbub
We sail the sea, we sail the sea
The sunless sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea, the sunless sea
We sail the sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea
When we've each had our fill of the menu
We head out the venue, prepared to continue
Turning that lard into muscle and sinew
Discover just how much swashbuckle is in you
When you're smuggling human souls whose tombs are cold
You lose control, you're ravenous too
The food is mouldy, too damn salty
The deep hue of this blue's unholy
Fool, I told you skippers who consume their crews are lonely
And fuel is low, we've used the coal so I'm cruising home
We sail the sea, we sail the sea
The sunless sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea, the sunless sea
We sail the sea, the sunless sea, we sail the sea
We plunder deep and run from creatures from beneath
The sunless sea
