The Sentinel Lyrics

The Sentinel lyrics

When the earth lost it's light

No more sun in the sky

I began to see fear

Even in the very bravest seamen's eyes

A fresh water's sailors fear

Of deliverance and storm

But with good ship and sea roam

We will make it home

The wind began to blow, in fury made waves to rise

A good ship but deep loaden

And with all that in mind we still rolled the dice

Waiting for judgement of heaven

Then the wind increased and so she wallowed in the sea

We had all hands at work to strike the top mast

But as the ropes got stuck we didn't have a chance

It's happening so fast

Waves raging higher

Please let us not die hear

From this violent storm

Save us all

Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky

For this one time

Save us all

The sea went mountain high, it broke upon us all

He wind whipped our sails

I heard the boatswain call and to his death he fell

At once washed away

Our captain prayed for mercy from the violent storm

We all could hear him cry

No time to waste now, cut the mast by the board

Or else we're doomed to die

Waves raging higher

Please let us not die hear

From this violent storm

Save us all

Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky

For this one time

Save us all

The ship was breaking but still the remaining crew

Called all hands to the pumps

As a last cry for help from desperate men at sea

We fired our guns

Waves raging higher

Please let us not die hear

From this violent storm

Save us all

Fear in our eyes as we gaze at the sky

For this one time

Save us all
