Blood in the Ocean
(c) 2010 by WRC,Jr.
It was gettin' real quiet out here
A little too quiet too be good
Couldn't see much 'cept the waves and the glare
We were fools on this ship of wood
And there was blood in the ocean
As we captured our fortune
It was time to take action
Still no words were spoken
An explosion rang out of the calm
And it shattered our paralyzed minds
It led to the ensuing maelstrom
Our instincts took over in kind
And there was blood in the ocean
As we fired our cannons
We knew we're the chosen
As we followed our captain
Soon the barrage finally ended
The fire and smoke left us blind
The dead and wounded were attended
Scars on our ship still remind
And there was blood in the ocean
And the ship's deck was crimson
Our faces turned ashen
As we sailed off in our coffin
