lyrics

The Tale of the Elizabeth Dane (There's a Home)

V1
If you've lived a life that is harsh and cold.
And you're used to the sea and rain.
Then we call on you, to join our crew.
As we set our sails again.
We're Westward bound on a search for shore.
That will let our kind be free.
But it's hard to find a welcome face
When you're racked with leprosy.

Chorus
Sail ye on my boys, we'll find a home.
We will one day leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, let the North wind know.
We will found a colony.

V2
Tis bleak upon this April night.
But a light doth shine ahead.
We have spied a glow on the distant shore.
Tis a sight to raise the dead.
Our navvy lads have read the maps.
We have found Antonio Bay.
Praise the God of sky and the Lord of Deep.
We will walk on land this day.

Chorus
Sail ye on my boys, we've found a home.
For tonight we leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, let the North wind know.
We will found this colony.

V3
Must the devil ride upon our backs.
Tis a dark and evil breed.
For the fiery glow was a serpents throw.
From a town that's built on greed.
Our clipper ship hath hit the rocks.
And the hull is sheered in two.
And as The Dane goes down and they steal the crown.
Of our lonely sinking crew.

Chorus
Sink ye down my boys, we've found our home.
At the bottom of the sea.
But as the fog rolls in, we will punish sin.
There'll be life for you and me.
Sinky ye down my boys, to freezing home.
I will try to comfort ye.
Till the fog rolls in and we punish sin.
There'll be life for you and me.

V4
'Tis April now and a hundred years
Have turned our hearts to stone.
Let me take your hand as we rise to land
Feel the flesh upon your bones.
Only six will die, tis a happy sum!
And the cross I'll take for me.
For the ocean waves will not be our graves.
'Tis a prayerful, loud decree!

Chorus
So sail ye on my boys, we'll find a home.
For a night we leave this sea.
As the heavens glow, may the North wind know.
We will crush conspiracy.
Let the God who made the ocean deep.
Set a course of jubilee!
Try not to cry, for we'll find the dry.
There's a home.
For you and me...
