All hands on deck
They run and they run
Ropes flying
Voices blaring,
Trying to keep moving.

The waves
are pumping
and thumping in time
to the beat
of their hearts
to the howl
of the wind
The flag goes up
and flaps at the stars

The boat is rocking
and speeding
through the water
it can't be slowed
it can't be controlled

Midnight
Dark
Lanterns bobbing
Headaches throbbing

The women rush about
they are strong
strong as men
Strong-hearted

They raise the mast
it vibrates in the wind
They think
they're succeding
But the boat is sinking
Filling with water
it can't be slowed
it can't be controlled

Abandon ship!
But there is nothing
to abandon to
All is black abyss

Down she goes.
