Barnacles hold fast to the ship’s hull
Hissing, wet winds above, roaring waves below
The merciless waters gargle and roll
Buoys warn with their constant toll

Hissing, wet winds above, roaring waves below
Ever more quickly approaching the shoal
Buoys warn with their constant toll
Captain struggles and heaves, but loses control

Ever more quickly approaching the shoal
A violent crash, crunch, and jerk, the dark ocean calls
Captain struggles and heaves, but loses control
He fights no longer and gives to the fall

A violent crash, crunch, and jerk, the dark ocean calls
The merciless waters gargle and roll
He fights no longer and gives to the fall
Barnacles hold fast to the ship’s hull
