🎶 Lyrics – “Ride the Roaring Tide”

The wind it howls, the sky turns black
The ocean's teeth are bared
The waves rise up to strike us down
But still we sail prepared

Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Hold the line and do not hide
Storm may crash and thunder cry
We sail on or we all die
Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Heave her straight and heave her wide

The mast it groans, the deck it heaves
The salt spray blinds our eyes
But hearts of steel and hands like rope
Will face the raging skies

Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Hold the line and do not hide
Storm may crash and thunder cry
We sail on or we all die
Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Heave her straight and heave her wide

She cracks and rolls, the lanterns swing
The ropes are strained and torn
But every soul still fights the gale
A sailor proud, sea-born

The sea's a beast with endless wrath
She'll drag you to her grave
But we are men who know her path
And none shall call us slave

Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Hold the line and do not hide
Storm may crash and thunder cry
We sail on or we all die
Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Heave her straight and heave her wide

So sing it loud through storm and foam
This ship, this crew, this sea's our home

Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Hold the line and do not hide
Storm may crash and thunder cry
We sail on or we all die
Ride the tide, the roaring tide
Heave her straight and heave her wide
