Take me down into the ocean. 

Bury me beneath the waves. 

Tide, take me where I might sleep

Among the pirate graves. 

I cannot bear the cries of mourning,

All that moaning from the pain. 

I cannot bear such endless marching

Through the rubble and the rain. 

Take me down into the ocean. 

Bury me beneath the waves. 

Tide, take me where I can sleep

Among the pirate graves.

Seaweed brushes stubbled cheek

Salty tears and foaming brine

A bed of silt surrounds my heap. 

I’ll wait there till the end of time. 

So take me down into the ocean. 

Bury me beneath the waves. 

Tide, take me where I can sleep

Among the pirate graves.
