The Sea Machine

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

Salt in the harbor

Cold on the coast

Raising a glass

To the wild Atlantic ghost

We stand for the ocean

We stand for the gale

Lifting a hammer

And hauling the sail

Verse 1

Narrow docks

Where the jagged black granite blocks

Watch the storm

Pulling fibers from a uniform

Loose threads hanging low

Wait for the signal to blow

Iron boots

Crushing down the winter roots

Chorus

Salt in the harbor

Cold on the coast

Raising a glass

To the wild Atlantic ghost

We stand for the ocean

We stand for the gale

Lifting a hammer

And hauling the sail

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Higher and higher

Oh oh oh

Through the holy fire

Verse 2

Ropes tight

Fighting off the frigid bite

Broken crates

Twisting under heavy plates

Loud and long and lean

Ripping up the sea machine

Thick white spray

Washing all the doubt away

Chorus

Salt in the harbor

Cold on the coast

Raising a glass

To the wild Atlantic ghost

We stand for the ocean

We stand for the gale

Lifting a hammer

And hauling the sail

Bridge

Under the deck

Over the wreck

Inside the swell

Where the old gods dwell

Far from the shore

Ready for war

Hard to the wind

Let the winter begin

Chorus

Salt in the harbor

Cold on the coast

Raising a glass

To the wild Atlantic ghost

We stand for the ocean

We stand for the gale

Lifting a hammer

And hauling the sail

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Higher and higher

Oh oh oh

Through the holy fire
