Through the Eye of the Storm Songtext
von Red Rum

Lightning cracks at the break of dawn
We′re setting sail through the raging storm
Gaining speed, our ship the blade
Cutting through the crashing waves
Roaring winds, a sirens song
A wall of water, our headings gone
Thunder cracks it won't be long
Still we′re sailing on

The captain calls out, make fast
Secure your line, your life to the mast

All hands on deck, there's no time now, don't you all wait
Cast aside your fears, tie your own rope, seal your own fate


Make for the eye
Pierce her gaze
Full sail ahead
And take a brief reprise
Tie the canons down
Hasten in the sails
Full to starboard now
Smash a flask of rum!

A sudden surge of current
Knocks our vessel off its course
Pulls us deeper
Below to an icy cold embrace

A wall of water rising
Closes on our flanks
The rising waves collide
Reduced the ship to planks

Lightning cracks as we are torn
We′re cast adrift in the raging storm
Sinking fast we′re dragged below
Helpless slaves to the undertow
Roaring winds cry out our doom
Below the water will be our tomb
Thunder cracks we will be gone
How can we go on

One by one the screams subside
Circled like prey with nowhere to hide


Blood in water draws the beasts to frenzy on our flesh
The jaws of death grow tighter now with each and every breath

Blood in water draws the beasts to frenzy on our flesh
The jaws of death grow tighter now with each and every breath

Lightning cracks at the break of dawn
We're setting sail through the raging storm
Roaring winds cry out our doom
Below the water will be our tomb

Lightning cracks at the break of dawn
We′re setting sail through the raging storm
Roaring winds cry out our doom
Below the water will be our tomb

Lightning cracks at the break of dawn
We're cast adrift in the raging storm
Sinking fast we′re dragged below
Helpless slaves to the undertow
Roaring winds cry out our doom
Below the water will be our tomb
Thunder cracks we will be gone
How can we go on
