Strum
D-DU-UDU
And  the sailors, they sing sad songs,
About  the sea that eats them whole.
And  the sailors they sing sad songs,
Food  for fishes shoals.
And  the wind it blows inland,
And  the death you can smell.
Smashed  on rocks and smashed on boulders,
Smashed  in living hell.
And  their loved ones wait for hours,
Await  the fate of the cruel sea
And  if loved ones don't return,
There's  no security.
Just  the work-house when they grow old,
To  lay their weary heads,
And  the sound of the sea singing
Until  they are dead.
And  the sea that bears its harvest
It  exacts a heavy toll,
Mothers,  fathers, brothers, uncles,
With  no corpses to behold.
Sailing  out into the darkness,
Every  day of the year.
Sailing  out into the darkness,
With  a prayer, and with fear
 And with fear,
 With a prayer, and with fear.
 And with fear.
