Pre-Chorus
Brother of sleep
Far from shore
Veil of fog
Clothe yourself
Work the oar
Brother of sleep
On course
For the crescent moon
Verse 1
High waves roll in the bitter-cold night
Bursting into the heavens, the seas are awakened
Pale skulls dance roundel with the rain
The storm whistles seaman's songs
Boy come back soon
Refrain
Brother of sleep - work the oar
La - la - la - la - Ahoi - Hohai
Work the oar - brother of sleep
La la - Hohai – Ahoi
Verse 2
The gunports lift the cannonier high in the old manner
The fuse glows like a thunderclap
A flower of lightening blossoms
Likedeeler Likedeeler 1 the braids are tarred
Sparks fly, the captain
Sharpens his scythe
[Refrain]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Refrain]
1. The Likedeeler were a band of medieval German pirates active in the North and Baltic Seas
