aether and ink - the sea dragon of whitby كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
we sailed out of whitby with a hard north breeze
salt on the ropes and salt on our knees
a lantern went dim where the grey swells rolled
old tom said, “there’s a wake in the cold.”

[refrain]
hold fast, hold fast—keep your hands where they should
hold fast, hold fast—steady, steady and good

[chorus 1]
row, lads, row—row and don’t you tire
row, lads, row—through the wind and wire
row, lads, row—hear the sea_bells ring
row, lads, row—let the night do its thing

[verse 2]
she rose like a ship when the wave lifts free
a sea_dragon gentle as any could be
no smoke, no snarl, just a widе, clear eye
and a scar on hеr fin where the iron went by

[refrain]
easy now, easy—no blade, no shout
easy now, easy—let the fear bleed out
[chorus 2]
sing low, sing low—sing it clean and plain
sing low, sing low—till the deck feels sane
sing low, sing low—same words, same air
sing low, sing low—she’s listening there

[verse 3]
a squall hit sudden and took our mast
canvas split open, the yard came fast
jory went over with a cry and a flash—
then the dragon slid under and softened the crash

[bridge]
we threw him a line, but the sea said no
she nosed him up where the whitecaps go
she held to the windward, steady and near
like a mate who won’t leave when the water is sheer

[chorus 3]
haul, lads, haul—haul and don’t you slip
haul, lads, haul—bring him back to the ship
haul, lads, haul—one pull, then two
haul, lads, haul—she’s hauling too

[verse 4]
at dawn we limped in with a broken spar
and she paced our ship like a guiding star
she turned at the harbour and sank from sight
and the sea felt bigger for doing right
[verse 5]
we paid out the carpenter, paid the hands
split our last coin in the tavern’s sands
old tom laid a net where the tide runs deep
not to trap her—just gifts for her keep

[refrain]
fair trade, fair trade—what you take, you give
fair trade, fair trade—let the sea_crews live

[chorus 4]
give thanks, give thanks—give thanks and be done
give thanks, give thanks—when the work is won
give thanks, give thanks—same words, same tone
give thanks, give thanks—no man stands alone

[verse 6]
next week brought whalers with iron tips
three black_hulled boats and hungry lips
they asked of monsters, they asked of gold
we said, “no tales here worth being sold.”

[verse 7]
that night she surfaced beyond the pier
close enough that we all could hear
no speech, no tricks—just a low, slow sound
and she circled once, then sank straight down
[refrain]
keep quiet, keep quiet—let trouble pass
keep quiet, keep quiet—don’t court the glass

[chorus 5]
hush now, hush now—hush and let it lie
hush now, hush now—don’t point, don’t pry
hush now, hush now—same words again
hush now, hush now—till the docklights dim

[verse 8]
come spring we sailed with a convoy wide
six fat holds and the moon for a guide
a reef lay waiting where charts went wrong
then she broke the water and led us along

[bridge 2]
she nudged at the current, she turned our head
not by force—just the path she read
we followed her line, we cleared that place
and every ship made open sp_ce

[chorus 6]
steer, lads, steer—steer where she shows
steer, lads, steer—past the t__th and rows
steer, lads, steer—same call, same breath
steer, lads, steer—away from death

[outro refrain]
hold fast, hold fast—when you’ve got no chart
hold fast, hold fast—and mind your part
hold fast, hold fast—be straight, be true
hold fast, hold fast—and the sea may, too
