They're never silent, the seas, on which we sail Longing for distant shores we cannot find The weather's bad and we need shelter But our captain sails on and on I dare you God to challenge me On these wild and stormy seas I challenge you to shink this ship But your powers weak and I will win And then a spirit appears on deck The captain he commands 'Leave this ship' The spirit remains frozen, the captain shoots But his gun explodes in his hands The spirit laughs I curse thee captain And your ship to wander the earth And all the souls you'll ever engage Won't live long enough to tell the tale From the Ivory coast to the West indies I've sailed And I was there to ship the slaves to their destiny The seas have never been too rough for me But this time I must admit it's beyond insanity I dare you God to challenge me On these wild and stormy seas A spirit spoke, a spirit cursed this ship To dwell eternally The spirits of the universe have gathered to watch me bleed And when this curse will ever leave I don't know I never believed in demons or in witchery Well they are here they've taken my soul I dare you God to challenge me On these wild and stormy seas A spirit spoke, a spirit cursed this ship To dwell eternally Across the seven seas, she dwells eternally Across the seven seas, she dwells eternally Help me, join me on my endless voyage.
