The Devil Below and the Sky Above

Oh, the wind was sharp and the sky was black, (Hey-ho, haul away!)

With a bottle o’ rum and a storm at our back. (Hey-ho, haul away!)

We sailed for gold but we found regret,

And a mermaid’s curse we won’t forget…

So raise the sails and curse your luck!

We dance with fate when the sea gets rough!

The devil below and the sky above—

There’s no home like a ship we love!

The captain swears on a broken chart, (Hey-ho, haul away!)

With a compass cursed and a shattered heart. (Hey-ho, haul away!)

The stars don’t shine where the krakens crawl,

But we drink and laugh and fear nothin’ at all!

So raise the sails and curse your luck!

We dance with fate when the sea gets rough!

The devil below and the sky above—

There’s no home like a ship we love!

We’ve lost good men to the siren’s song,

We’ve sailed dead waters far too long.

But give me the tide and a sky of gray,

And I’ll chase that dawn ‘til judgment day.

So raise the sails and curse your luck!

We dance with fate when the sea gets rough!

The devil below and the sky above—

There’s no home like a ship we love!

So here’s to the storms, and here’s to the fight—

We live for the sea… and we die by night.
