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!
