[Verse 1]
Like a ship heading down
Over waters of fear
I say farewell, my friends
I'm bound to raging winds
My masts and my cords
Have been longing for this
Eager for what fortune
May ever bring
[Chorus 1]
I raise an ode to the storm!
That comes in turmoil
To wake and destroy
The lull and the doldrums
In which I have drowned
I'll beat or be beaten once and for all!
[Verse 2]
My cannons are ready
To shoot and defeat
In case I meet the creatures
I heard of in myths
Once it won't be long
'Til the sea brings the fight
And swallows its monsters
Along with my fright
[Chorus 2]
I raise an ode to the storm!
That comes in turmoil
To wake and destroy
The lull and the doldrums
In which I have drowned
I'll beat or be beaten once and for all!
[Verse 3]
In the end the last wave
That I'll ever see
Will be from my beloved
On the shore greeting me
This day y'all will avow
I could make it through
I'll tell all my tales
You'll say I overdo
[Chorus 3]
I raise an ode to the storm!
That came in turmoil
Blessed me with rejoice
For I've got the rudder
None will face me down
I know I'll have risen once and for all!
I know I'll have risen once and for all!
I know I'll have risen once and for all!
