[Verse]
Black waves crash
The cold sea bites
Silent shadows in the moonless night
Engines roar
The storm fights back
A ghostly vessel on a covert track
[Prechorus]
Steel and ice
They cut the dark
A rebel’s flame
A fleeting spark
[Chorus]
Shetland Bus
Through the gale
Silent whispers
A fragile trail
Freedom’s breath
In the frost it lingers
Hope’s light clutched in frozen fingers
[Verse 2]
Cargo of fear
A living freight
Resisting death
Defying fate
The fjords are watching
The skies turn black
Norway’s heart on a broken track
[Bridge]
Torpedoes lurk
The wolves they prowl
The ocean screams
The heavens scowl
Blood and salt
The seas conspire
But the spirit burns
An endless fire
[Chorus]
Shetland Bus
Through the gale
Silent whispers
A fragile trail
Freedom’s breath
In the frost it lingers
Hope’s light clutched in frozen fingers
