All land is far away
In front of us only the sea
There’s nothing but the waves
A liquid mirror
Of the endless skies above
A mighty road as wide as the horizon in front of us
Our ships
Are rolling back and forth
Slowly, creaking
Cradled by the sea
The sun is turning red
An ominous silence fills the air
There’s no wind, no single wave
A weak low rumble
Far from the crimson skies ahead
Like a hungry beast approaching its prey
Dark clouds
Fill the sky
As rain falls like spears
And brings the storm!
This storm will take us all
Women, children, ship and crew
This storm will kill us all
This must be hell we're going through
Forty-eight died by the storm
Crushed by lightning, wind and rain
Another six drowned in the waves
Sinking down with silent screams
Another day begins
Calm and peaceful is the sea
Nothing but the waves again
Our comrades died
We will never forget their sacrifice
Given for a future that is waiting ahead
Strong winds
Clear blue skies
We believe soon there will be
Land in sight!
