[Intro]

[Verse]
Graves gave us up, the sea called us back
Chains on our souls, on this spectral track
Frozen fog clings, a shroud on the deep
While the living slumber, the dead cannot sleep

[Chorus]
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Pull the line, let the spectral winds blow!
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Till the cursed voyage finds its end, though!

[Verse]
The captain's a wraith, with eyes cold and bright
He commands us onward through endless night
No breath in our lungs, no warmth in our bones
Just the echo of labor, the groaning of stones

[Chorus]
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Pull the line, let the spectral winds blow!
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Till the cursed voyage finds its end, though!

[Verse]
The timbers they groan, the mast starts to sway
We haul and we strain at the close of the day
But day never comes, only fog and the chill
And the sound of our work, forever standing still

[Chorus]
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Pull the line, let the spectral winds blow!
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Till the cursed voyage finds its end, though!

[Bridge]
Our flesh has long rotted, our sinews are frayed
But the duty remains, a price to be paid
No rest for the weary, no peace for the lost
Just the endless exertion, no matter the cost

[Verse]
We see phantom lights, where no land can be found
We hear spectral voices, with no earthly sound
Each pull of the rope, a whisper of doom
Trapped in this vessel, our eternal tomb

[Chorus]
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Pull the line, let the spectral winds blow!
Heave ho, dead men, heave ho!
Till the cursed voyage finds its end, though!

[Outro]
Heave ho... heave ho...
