Out on the ocean,
Under the starlight,
The night met us boldly and laughed.
Where is the crew?
Where is the Captain?
Who charts the course, and who steers?
They've not been seen since last they made port,
No one knows if they're alive.
Someday they'll come in,
The Sunken Damnation,
Alive, or dead, we'll see.
Who said that every ship,
Would outlast the weather?
We can't control the sky.
Arrogance taught us that,
And we never argued,
We sought to tame the sea.
What keeps us sailing,
Past the end of the charts,
And what do we hope we will find?
Someday they'll come in,
The Sunken Damnation,
Alive, or dead, we'll see.
What if night never ends?
And the sea goes on endless?
I see no land and no sun.
Is this oblivion,
Where all men must go?
I hear no wind, feel no rain.
Will we die here by the mast cold and hungry?
Were we ever meant to come this far?
Someday they'll come in,
The Sunken Damnation,
Alive, or dead, we'll see.
