Текст песни A Sea of Struggle and Glory

Oh, the sea, the endless sea The man casts his net Into the blue unknown The sea feeds his kin But claims her own Before dawn he sails In a wooden shell Chasing silver fish Through the deep dark swell Sea gives life! Sea gives life! Sea gives song! Sea gives song! But when storms rise! When storms rise! She drags us down! Drags us down! Oh the sea, the cruel sea Sustains and kills The sea, the wild sea Bends our will Calloused hands on the wheel Heart pounds with the waves In the raging gale The brave man prays Fear and faith collide On the foaming tide Between gift and grave We learn to ride Sea gives life! Sea gives life! Sea gives song! Sea gives song! But when storms rise When storms rise! She drags us down! Drags us down! Oh the sea, the cruel sea Sustains and kills The sea, the wild sea Bends our will No promises she makes No mercy in her wake What we gain with courage The salt will take Yet every night we thank her When the nets come full Brother to the ocean Humble, strong, and true Sea gives life! Sea gives life! Sea gives song! Sea gives song! Through the storm we fight! Through the storm we fight! Till the morning light! Morning light! Oh the sea, the endless sea We breathe her, she breathes me The man and the sea Forever free Oh, the sea, the endless sea
