Those horizons stretch as a beckoning smile
Shielding its dangers that span endless miles
Many a ship and crew went abroad
And to the briny deep, they gave their lot
Only those drunk off courage and rum
Would dare to claim this grave of the sun
But storms will hit, and men will drown
Down to the depths with nary a sound
Oh, but what lies beyond?
What wonders can be found?
And who would be the first
To the ends of the earth?
Give no mind to discontent
This ship thrives on merriment
Black of heart, but strong of soul
A wicked sneer with teeth of gold
Set sail now! Bring me the sunset!
We shall not be a crew that many would forget
Across the ocean wide, our destiny awaits
To make land fall in glory, or end up as sharkbait…
No such map charts out these shadowed seas
We’re going in there blind…GET UP OFF YOUR KNEES!
Now’s not the time to pray, to beg or mutiny
We must remain steadfast, fearless for all to see!
"The captain’s wise; we mustn’t question
He would flog all of us were we to mention
Our deepest fear, that we would never
Return from this quest, and be lost forever…"
Oh, but what lies beyond?
What wonders can be found?
And who would be the first
To the ends of the earth?
Give no mind to discontent
This ship thrives on merriment
Black of heart, but strong of soul
A wicked sneer with teeth of gold
Set sail now! Bring me the sunset!
We shall not be a crew that many would forget
Across the ocean wide, our destiny awaits
To make land fall in glory, or end up as sharkbait…
The sea is angry, friends…it shows us no remorse
No matter how dire it seems, we mustn’t loose our course
I can see it not; sweet riches shining bright
And it’s all ours, gents! It shall be worth this plight!
Ahead a squall line forms, with two more starboard bound
Great waves of furious rage now rise to crash and pound
Let not the storm devour you, for we must cleave a path
To ensure safe departure, we must fight through this wrath!
Hours on end now ensue…it seems they’ve lost all hope
Those weak-kneed feel this typhoon (is) much to fierce to cope
But I am not so hasty; no retreat, says I!
Abandon ship? Ye cowards! Those truly brave would rather die!
Several fools, finer men, and wretches off their rocker
End up as mere fish food for Davy Jones’ Locker
Grit your teeth! Lift the sail! Right through it we’ll trek!
I’d rather slit me own throat then have this voyage wrecked!
After what seemed like an eternity in Hell
The storm clouds break away…the sea no longer swells
A joyous song is heard, and drinks now overflow
But I cannot partake, for we have much more to go!
What lies beyond where the sky and ocean meet?
A land of mystery, savage yet discreet
But we have found our treasure, a fortune by the ton
So let our song be heard! Join in, everyone!
Oh, but what lies beyond?
What wonders can be found?
And who would be the first
To the ends of the earth?
Give no mind to discontent
This ship thrives on merriment
Black of heart, but strong of soul
A wicked sneer with teeth of gold
Set sail now! Bring me the sunset!
We shall not be a crew that many would forget
Across the ocean wide, our destiny awaits
To make land fall in glory, or end up as sharkbait…
