I never was one for the drinking and dance.
But I lived by the dice and the cards in my hands.
But the goddess of fortune seemed loath of the sea.
There were none of the crew who was poorer than me.

I was walking the deck on a cold starry night.
When the shape of a spectre appeared in my sight.
He said: I am Jones and I've seen your demise.
I've been moved by your suffering, I will help you rise.

I'm his fool you see.
And he's waiting for me.
Down below in a bottomless chasm.
I'm his sailor to be.
And he's waiting for me.
Down below, down below, down below.

He said: "I'll make you richest of all of your crew
In return I require a promise from you
When your sand has run out, when your time here is through.
You'll sign up for me without further ado."
I complied and I signed with my blood on a line.
With no thought of my life, only gold on my mind.
But I was deceived, I wish I had known
That I would be richest, but also alone.

I'm his fool you see.
And he's waiting for me.
Down below in a bottomless chasm.
I'm his sailor to be.
And he's waiting

for me.
Down below, down below, down below.

The next day I woke to a scream from the hold.
Where the first mate was found, lying bleeding and cold.
And a sailor came running with a nail in his eye.
So we all ran to help him, but I knew he would die.
Soon enough we were caught in a fight for our lives.
In a torrent of hail from a blue cloudless sky.
When a freak wave swept half of the crew overboard.
The captain went mad, and he fell on his sword.

I'm his fool you see.
And he's laughing at me.
Down below in a bottomless chasm.
I'm his sailor to be.
And he's waiting for me.
Down below, down below, down below.

Now I'm drifting alone on an ocean so vast.
The ship's wealthiest sailor, but also the last.
There's a wind out of nowhere that's filling my sails.
There's a sprinkling of frost building up on the rails.

I'm his fool you see.
And he's laughing at me.
Down below in a bottomless chasm.
I'm his sailor to be.
And he's waiting for me.
Down below, down below, down below.

Down below, down below, down below
Down below, down below, down below
