lyrics

Black sky, thunder & lightning
Waiting for the rain to come
Put the pieces together
I'll be watching with a bottle of rum

I still feel the power and beauty
But fear has turned to joy
I'm the only soul left on this ship
All are gone - men & boys

I've always loved a strong breeze
I do not mind the hail
No place I'd rather be now
No need to set the sails

Carry on
I can hold out and will hold on
Raise the sea
My true love will set me free

I have seen everything
More than I could believe
I have plundered so much more
Than anyone could ever need

Every soul that stood in my way
I gave them freedom
I have no regrets at all
I bet they're where it's warm

It may come to an end now
Won't look at the rising sun
My life has led up to this moment
Nothing else has to be done

Carry on
Finish me, right before the dawn
Raise the sea
My true love will set me free

Carry on
Let the best be yet to come
Raise the sea
Let it break down on me

It's getting quiet, getting smooth
Don't leave me undone
I am old, I know the truth
Don't force me to use the gun

What happens now, what is this light
Shining red from far away
Relentlessly coming closer
Lord do you hear me pray?

I can feel it's evil
Never felt this before
There's a little drop of poison left
Doesn't matter anymore

I'm ready, I close my eyes
Waiting to lose control
I don't want to see this ship
It will not get my soul

I'm waiting and waiting
My mouth has gone dry
My heart has stopped beating
Why am I still alive?

Looking with one eye and see
He's standing right in front of me
In flames, I'm on his ship
Part of his crew, I'm on my knees

So this is the end now
Won't look at the rising sun
I'll be here forever
Collecting souls one by one

Carry on
He took me where I belong
Raise the sea
My true love for eternity

Carry on
Rowing hard for what I've done
Raise the sea
It's always been a part of me
