lyrics

Our songs are raised to shrieks above the waves
We curse the gales which blow us to our graves

None for you
None for me
There’s no mercy in this sea

No hope, no fight, no faith, and no respite
We bid the storm rock us into night

None for you
None for me
There’s no mercy in this sea

And in that moment everything seems lost
Love has no virtue, selfishness no cost

None for you
None for me
There’s no mercy in this sea
Yet asleep in the stern
There is mercy flowing free

Now he awakes
Now he rebukes the sea
Cries, “Peace. Be Still!” and all the billows cease

None for you
None for me
There’s no mercy in this sea
Yet asleep in the stern
There is mercy flowing free

He comes from a long line of priests whose fiery performances characterise his own style. ... more
