originally on the Storm's Coming cassette

shore up the timbers
get yourselves below
another soul’s been taken
another one not ready yet to go

hold me close my darlins
we may not have much time left
hold me tight my dearests
together we’ll brave the tempest

the skies are growing darker
I can see the umbral glow
we’ve pleaded with the umpires
but we all know that they don’t make the rules

hold me back my sweethearts
we don’t have any time left
hold me tight my dearests
together you’ll weather the tempest

I know that we don’t ask for the pain
but it swallows us up anyway
I know the future feels dark
but all it takes to glow is a single spark

hold me close my lovers
we don’t have any time left
hold me tight my dearests
together you’ll face the tempest
without me
