Letra The tempest THE REAL MCKENZIES

The tempest

We are all born free but forever live in chains,
and we battle through existence on and on!
We'll take whatever comes to be,
while keeping hopeful melody
and we'll cruise through the darkness
until the warmth of dawn

So Row Row ya Bastards!
Ya never can tell!
Through water like glass,
above a briny hell!
So Row and a-Hollar,
come give'er all you can!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

We carry on the burden
and we hide our grimace well
for the day will come for us to mutiny
But as long as we survive
Our hope and pride they can't deprive
and we'll carry on our melody
to sing in harmony
So Row Row ya Bastards!
Ya never can tell!
Over water like glass,
above a briny hell!
So Row and a-Hollar,
come give'er all you can!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

So Row Row ya Bastards!
Ya never can tell!
The ocean a tempest
All around us a stormy hell!
So Row and a-Hollar,
'Till bloodied on the hands!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.

We are wracked from the hardships,
exhausted by the years,
We can still escape this barren misery
but even with our shackled wrists
we can fight our way through this
and we'll power all aboard the ship
to total liberty

So Row Row ya Bastards!
Ya never can tell!
The ocean a tempest
All around us a stormy hell!
So Row and a-Hollar,
'Till bloodied on the hands!
Or the sea she will best us,
we'll never see the land.
