Lyrics

Dark Waves

They know they should’ve turned back
As the waves turned dark now
What lies underneath
There is no way of telling

The storm engulfs
These poor fishermen’s boat
Their catch is gone
The deck is flooded

Keels up and dry
Facing towards the starlight
They’ve been capsized
Seems likely they will all go under

Storm still blow
Biting barely conscious bones
Single flare of hope
Life preservers afloat, just

Helicopter circles above
To the sound of culls a calling
A Winchman prepares to descend
On what could prove a futile mission

Dark waves break
Bodies go under
Dark waves crash
Dragging them down
