The Wrath of Fate lyrics

The rain was blowing

Lightning cracked

All the windows smashed

With sails scorched or barely there

All our hopes were dashed

With tattered lines and planking charred

The ship stayed on its course

Our fires lit the clouds around

And we felt deep remorse

But the crew stayed at its post

And the Captain at his wheel

We all endured the wrath of fate

But thought our fate was sealed

A chain’s as weak as its weakest link

And rust did cut us through

But strength in arms and hearts and heads

Held 'cause our course was true

A traitor lay within our midst and stirred unrest within

From vanity or selfishness or many other sin

With fires set and lanyards cut

The traitor did jump ship

And left the blazing falling corpse

Of vessel in our grip

But the crew stayed at its post

And the Captain at his wheel

We all endured the wrath of fate

But thought our fate was sealed

A chain’s as weak as its weakest link

And rust did cut us through

But strength in arms and hearts and heads

Held 'cause our course was true

And down we plunged, a fireball

A skeletal frame of ash

With airbags burst three thousand feet

All our hopes were dashed

Nothing could keep that ship aloft

So, so down we crashed

Five hundred fathoms down we fell

Toward briny deep we splashed

But the crew stayed at its post

And the Captain at his wheel

We all endured the wrath of fate

But thought our fate was sealed

A chain’s as weak as its weakest link

And rust did cut us through

But strength in arms and hearts and heads

Held 'cause our course was true

The ocean hit like wall of stone

The creak of timbers like banshee's moan

But through the resolve of the Captain’s crew

Waves broke bow and then withdrew

The mast was charred but still so strong

So sails we did raise

The windows gone above waterline

The water quenched the blaze

With lightning bolts quite far aloft

And gentle wind below

The Captain’s crew and battered ship

Sailed into sunset’s glow

But the crew stayed at its post

And the Captain at his wheel

We all endured the wrath of fate

But thought our fate was sealed

A chain’s as weak as its weakest link

And rust did cut us through

But strength in arms and hearts and heads

Held 'cause our course was true

But strength in arms and hearts and heads

Held 'cause our course was true
