Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the morning light they sailed away,
With dreams of golden fish and pay,
Through the mist and rolling waves, they braved,
But fate had other plans today.
Their laughter echoed on the deck,
With hopes of fortune, no regrets,
But the sea’s embrace is cold and deep,
Where many sailors’ souls now sleep.
[Chorus x2]
Oh, the sea, it claims its due,
Brave hearts lost to waters blue,
In storms and battles, fierce and wild,
We honor every fallen child.
[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
They faced the pirates' ruthless wrath,
Defended ships with blood and path,
Through cannon fire and cutlass clash,
They fought with hearts, but lives did crash.
With swords in hand, they made their stand,
Defending life and treasured land,
But in the end, the sea was wide,
And many perished in the tide.
[Chorus x2]
Oh, the sea, it claims its due,
Brave hearts lost to waters blue,
In storms and battles, fierce and wild,
We honor every fallen child.
[Bridge]
In the whispers of the ocean breeze,
You hear their voices, soft and free,
They sing a tune of bravery,
For those who rest beneath the sea.
[Instrumental Break]
{meta: tempo=120, mood=reflective, key=G minor, instruments=violin, vibes=melancholic, effects=echo}
Through raging storms and darkest night,
Their spirits soar, they shine so bright,
In every wave, a memory,
Of sailors lost, of those set free.
[Verse 3]
Through wars and plagues, they carried on,
With strength until their breath was gone,
In the deep, their names live on,
In every wave, in every song.
From fever's grip to the cannon's roar,
They gave their all, and then some more,
In the logs of ships and tales retold,
Their legacy in hearts we hold.
[Chorus x2]
Oh, the sea, it claims its due,
Brave hearts lost to waters blue,
In storms and battles, fierce and wild,
We honor every fallen child.

[Outro]
Raise a glass and shed a tear,
For those who gave their lives so dear,
In the depths, their spirits cheer,
Sailors' hearts we'll hold near.
Oh, the sea, it claims its due,
Brave hearts lost to waters blue,
In storms and battles, fierce and wild,
We honor every fallen child.

Through raging storms and darkest night,

In the logs of ships and tales retold,
Their legacy in hearts we hold.

Oh, the sea, it claims its due,
Brave hearts lost to waters blue,
In storms and battles, fierce and wild,
We honor every fallen child.
