Wind From The Sky

January 27, 2014

Hold on tight as the wind is blowing by

Grab onto the side and don't you let go,

It will feel heavy but the days will fly.

The vibrations may make you want to die

It pulls and tears the body, but say no

Hold on tight as the wind is blowing by.

The waves grow angry from the grimaced sky

But they'll keep on saying the old "heave ho!"

It will feel heavy but the days will fly.

The sword will fly into the throat and eye

And they'll rock side by side crying "whoa whoa!"

Hold on tight as the wind is blowing by.

The deck falls in and water rises high

The crew blinks their eye and they shout "Row, Row!"

It will feel heavy but the days will fly.

Until the last fallen die we will try

The beast of the sky shan't win, it's just so,

Hold on tight as the wind is blowing by,

It will feel heavy but the days will fly.
