Red Sky at Morning (Sea Shanty)

The wind is howling, the waves are tall A blood-red dawn-a sailor's call The mast it creaks, the deck it groans The sea will take what it is owed Red sky at morning, sailors beware Storm winds are rising, death's in the air Tie down the rigging, grip the wheel tight Pray that we last through the devil's white bite The captain stares with hollowed eyes He's seen too many meet their cries A scarlet warning paints the deep The kind of dawn that makes men weep Red sky at morning, sailors beware Storm winds are rising, death's in the air Tie down the rigging, grip the wheel tight Pray that we last through the devil's white bite The thunder cracks, the black waves roar The hungry sea will claim one more No man can flee, no man can fight The storm it laughs, it swallows light Red sky at morning, scream if you dare No god will hear you, none left to care Tie down the rigging, drown in the night Gone with the storm, no stars left in sight
