Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Heave with me, boys Hands on the rope Salt in the cut Weight in the throat Boots on the deck Boards groan below We move like stone One breath, one row [Pre-Chorus] Pull it slow Pull it down Feel that drag All around Shoulder burn Jaw locked tight Keep your hands On the line tonight [Chorus] Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Hold it in place (Hold it in place) Lean with the tide (Lean with the tide) Don’t lose your face Don’t lose your face Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Grind through the strain (Grind through the strain) Low in the chest (Low in the chest) Stay in the chain Stay in the chain [Verse 2] Mud on the cuffs Tar on the palms Winch to the bone Work like a psalm Old scars talk Under the skin We were made hard To haul and grin [Pre-Chorus] Pull it slow Pull it down Feel that drag All around Shoulder burn Jaw locked tight Keep your hands On the line tonight [Chorus] Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Hold it in place (Hold it in place) Lean with the tide (Lean with the tide) Don’t lose your face Don’t lose your face Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Grind through the strain (Grind through the strain) Low in the chest (Low in the chest) Stay in the chain Stay in the chain [Bridge] One more pull Then two more Hips to the wood Feet to the floor If we fall We fall as one Dark on our backs Still moving on [Final Chorus] Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Hold it in place (Hold it in place) Lean with the tide (Lean with the tide) Don’t lose your face Don’t lose your face Anchor the line (Anchor the line) Grind through the strain (Grind through the strain) Low in the chest (Low in the chest) Stay in the chain Stay in the chain

Sea shanty at a heavy 70 BPM with a steady walking pulse and rugged male vocals; verse rides a low, strained lead over handclaps and stomped floor hits, pre-chorus tightens with call-and-response stacks, chorus lands in thick layered harmonies on a chantable anchor. Add creaking chain swells, boot-floor thuds, and a low brass drone into the lifts. Gritty, close-mic, chesty mix with warm low-end weight., slow, steady, vocal, shanty, low
