Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh the captain yelled from the icy prow "Leave the ropes Boys Follow me now" We traded the mast for a mountain high Swapped out the sails for a bright cold sky [Chorus] Heave ho Down we go Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow Skis like oars on a frozen sea Powder and the deep blue Sing it with me (hey!) [Verse 2] We carved our tracks through the drift and spray White waves breakin’ in a blinding spray My beard all rimed like a winter rope Heart full of fear and a flask of hope [Chorus] Heave ho Down we go Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow Skis like oars on a frozen sea Powder and the deep blue Sing it with me (hey!) [Bridge] If I tumble down to the cold below Lay my sticks where the pines all grow Raise your cups Let the story roll Of the fool who sailed on a snowy shoal (ohhh) [Chorus] Heave ho Down we go Ridin’ that ridge where the wild winds blow Skis like oars on a frozen sea Powder and the deep blue Sing it with me (hey!)

Verses stay tight and story-driven, chorus explodes with gang vocals and clapped triplet rhythms, final round modulates up half a step for a rowdy, arms-around-shoulders singalong., shanty
