It's been sixty five days since we've seen land
The windless air mocks us, the captain's gone mad
Salt beef and hard tack quenches no man's thirst
One skin of water's left and seven men still stand
How I don't have scurvy I will never know
The sick and dying lie before me
My eyes scan the horizon for some forgotten island
Perhaps in some small way we'll have some luck today
A sudden darkness overhead blocks our way
St Elmo's fire dances at the stern and the waters churn
The seething ocean makes and angry fist, smashes down smashes down
All hands on deck I shout but it's too late - we overturn
We overturn
And we break in two
Her gentle hands pull me from the surf, as I wake she goes
I feel sand between my fingers
