lyrics

Troubled my thoughts, laboured, is my head
Two men work, a three men, shift all day

There’s no sleep, constantly, awake
There’s no rest, eyes are, failing me

Caffeine tea, blast of, icy wind
Keep my mind, alert, and awake

Anything, to keep, sleep away
Anything, to keep, sleep at bay

The storm keeps, battering, the light
Wave and wave beat, hope of rescue away

Endless work, shackled, to the light
Endless wait, rescue, boat is late

Tap my coat, to feel a, hidden fag
One last smoke, in case I start turning, mad

Give me strength, Mind and soul, weakening
Give me strength; Help me, through the night

Sea is heaving
Waves are crashing
Faces turning white
Hands are shaking
Confidence breaking
And there ain’t no sign of shore

Lightning flash, turning, of the light
Giving birth to, shadows, just out of sight

Mind plays tricks, sense start to lie
Mind plays tricks, do spirits really die?

Has my friend, come back to, punish me
I could have stayed, saved him, from himself

In the dark, waiting, for revenge
In the dark, feeling, on the edge

Freezing arms, reaching, behind my back
Icy Fingers, clutching, at my neck

Turning round, spectre, disappears
Turning round, it’s all, in my mind

Reaching for, sanity’s, final puff
The old man appears, relieves me from my work

Saving me, Safety, from my mind
Saving me, safety, of my sleep
