Let me tell you a story, from a long time ago[00:17.79]About a strapping young fella, and his voyage with his love[00:22.18]This man was no captain, but a young sailor boy[00:25.81]Who climbed up, aboard a vessel[00:28.01]And sailed out, into the void[01:14.05]Alas we soon set sail, and before the night was in[01:18.36]I was struck by her wild beauty, traversing through the wind[01:23.05]There was one sight problem, an issue so discrete[01:27.25]It appeared that her body was made from wood not meat[01:41.08]A message in a bottle, sent from the chef to me[01:45.33]Warning of the Captain and his immorality[01:49.86]A message write so clearly, 'twas not misunderstood[01:54.27]A warning of his vitriol and wrathful massacres[01:58.77]She told me not to tamper[02:03.22]She begged me to stay clear[02:07.54]Not to test the Captain's patience[02:12.12]And become a skeletal souvenir[02:36.60]As we approached Norfolk Island[02:38.40]We had grown tired of the Captain's ruthless authoritarian ways[02:42.15]And we decided something had to be done[02:44.27]We looked up towards the bridge, where the Captain was sat with his closest companions[02:49.07]And we hatched out a plan[02:51.59]We quickly rose to the stairs and overpowered the Captain and his men[02:59.16]We took them to starboard side of the ship[03:03.21]And as they fell towards the peaks of the waves below they were never seen again[03:10.38]Together with the rest of the scum[03:14.28]It was just me and her now[03:16.29]Nothing can stop us[03:17.91]We were on top of the world[03:21.82]Not the wind, not the weather[03:24.36]Not the rain[03:25.07]Not the sun[03:25.63]Not the sea[03:26.16]Not the weather[03:26.63]Not the storm[03:27.15]Not the sea[03:29.44]Not the thunder[03:30.52]Not the rain[03:30.97]Not the sea[03:31.48]Not the sun[03:32.06]Not the sirens[03:32.74]Not the rocks[03:33.59]Not the storm[03:36.31]Nothing can stop us we're on top of the world[03:43.41]Nothing can stop us we're on top of the world[05:40.96]I tempt you[05:46.56]Deep dark blue[05:52.25]Warned the storm would brew[05:57.65]We'll face it, me and you[06:03.03]I tempt you[06:08.10]Deep dark blue[06:13.11]Warned the storm would brew[06:17.87]We'll face it, me and you[06:22.59]I tempt you[06:27.14]I tempt you[06:31.62]I tempt you[06:35.88]I tempt you[06:40.05]We crashed into the rocks[06:41.08]And her bow split in two[06:42.16]Staring into the abyss, into the deep blue[06:44.35]It wasn't just the men that died but our love too
