Above me a dark cloudy sky
A rain coming down cold as ice
The wind rips our sails into rags
Cursed be the ruler of skies
Waves rolling by reaching into the sky
Higher than ever before
Coming onto our ship like a mad captain’s whip
Crashing with a deafening roar
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Below me the depths of the sea
Where sweet mermaids live, I am told that it’s true
Where ever there’s darkness and cold
Where Kraken is waiting for both me and you
Flashes of light leaving scars on your sight
Bright as sun turning night into day
Claps of thunder I hear coming from everywhere
Echoes that won’t fade away
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Ahead waters waiting, unknown
Our headings are lost, our rudder is gone
We’re listing already too much
We all know for sure our ship will go down
Drifting and lost, like a rag being tossed
Losing our fight ’gainst the sea
To the darkness below our journey will go
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight is the night when we die
In watery graves end our lives
Cursed be our souls as we lie
’Til reckoning day has arrived
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
Tonight we will die you and I
