List & Heel

Time stands still
 Stands still
 Time stands still
 The sea stands still for us my love
 Our anchor dropped in the rising sun
 I hope still for your words to come
 All is fair in a war un-won
 I still stand, I still breathe
 While only salt and death surround me
 I long still for your arms my love
 Hold me close away from things I've done
 Waves crash the hull
 In morning's quiet calm
 The calm before the storm
 The break before the dawn
 Before the shelling starts
 Black clouds above
 Hang over our heads
 They bring a flash of death
 The cold reaper's hand tries to pull me in
 Lances spread off port aim to split our sides
 The run's fanning wake looks a mile wide
 As the blister breaks and the ballasts fill, the ship's bell is rung
 List and heel with ash cans in the distance; silence deafened
 Bled in, scuttled and lost
 Time stands still
 Stands still
 Time stands still
 Time stands still for us my love
 Our anchor dragged in the smoked out sun
 No hope still for your words to come
 All is fair in a war un-won
 I still stand, I still breathe
 While only salt and death surround me
 I long still for your arms my love
