Get Me To Shore

Описание: In Amaranthe, the superstitions around dying at sea are terrifying - and reinforced worldwide by sailors everywhere. It may be truly a bad omen, or it may not - but why take the chance?

Lyrics written by me, music composed using Suno ai!


Chorus
Get me to shore, while my heart still beats,
I’ll face my end with soil under my feet.
Let their blades or teeth rend my core -
Just don’t let me die off the shoreless floor.

Verse 1
I’ve been shot in vain and cut in heat,
Felt cold, black iron break my knees.
I’ve bled in alleys, shed tears in war,
But I won’t give the sea what she’s askin’ for.

Chorus
Get me to shore, drag me if you must,
Let me taste dirt, let me bite the dust.
Hang me, gut me, settle your score -
Just don’t let me die over the ocean’s floor.

Verse 2
They say the Crystal keeps her dead,
Names in stone and prayers unread.
The sea don’t mark where the lost ones lie,
It just keeps movin’ and so do I.

Chorus
Get me to shore, through blood or rust.,
Let me taste dirt, let me bite the dust.
Hang me, gut me, settle the score -
Just don’t let me die off that sacred shore.

Verse 3
If I’m split in two by a rolling wave,
Tie me fast and swear you’re brave.
Spread the sails and break the fore,
I’ll thank you after if I touch that shore.

Chorus
Get me to shore, drag me if you must,
Let me taste dirt, let me bite the dust.
Hang me, gut me, settle the score -
Just don’t let me die over the ocean’s floor.

Verse 4
I’ve counted breaths until we ran aground,
Waited for that blessed sound.
Wood on stone and sand on keel
That’s when I knew my soul could heal.

Bridge
I ain’t askin’ mercy.
I ain’t askin’ long.
Just give me land…
Before I’m gone.

Final Chorus
Get me to shore, whatever it costs,
Gold’s no use to the truly lost.
I’ll die honest, I’ll die sore -
Just don’t let me die yet…
Get me to shore.
