The moon's a blade on a blackened sea
Whispers call through the gale
The crew is cursed no rest for me
Bound to this ship we sail
Blood and gold the price we reap
The devil waits in the salty deep
Oh the salty deep where shadows creep
And dead men keep their vow
No prayers can save no soul's too brave
We're all her captains now
The tide brings screams the drowned don't sleep
They pull us to their graves
Our sins are carved where the waters weep
The ocean won't forgive slaves
Blood and gold the price we reap,
The devil waits in the salty deep.
Oh the salty deep where shadows creep
And dead men keep their vow
No prayers can save no soul's too brave
We're all her captains now
A lantern swings in the storm's embrace
Lighting the way to hell
Her voice a hymn lures us to the place
Where sirens and monsters dwell
Oh the salty deep where shadows creep
And dead men keep their vow
The waves will rise the stars will weep
We bow to the salty deep
The wind dies down the ship won't steer
The cursed horizon's nigh
In the salty deep we disappear
Forever beneath the sky
