lirik lagu battlegrave - swallowed by the waves (the wreck of the trinculo)

sucked beneath the swell
in the cold dark of the night

south easterly winds
now inflict their vicious bite

forced on to the sand
on the 30th of may

90 mile beach
it’s home to this day

fury of the tide
turns the blue a foamy white

perilous for man
to be dealt this luckless plight

gale bellows down
starts to tear the planks away

swallowed by the waves
the sea claims it’s prey

built in the 19th century
the ocean floor it’s destiny

final voyage from the sound
decision made to run aground

over board and into shore
the seaman swims to sound the call

everyone now safe on land
the vessel though completely d~mned

trinculo
swallowed by the waves
trinculo

built in the 19th century
the ocean floor it’s destiny

final voyage from the sound
decision made to run aground

over board and into shore
the seaman swims to sound the call

everyone now safe on land
the vessel though completely d~mned

feel
the
crushing power of the waves

fear
the
destructive power of it’s gaze

swallowed by the waves
