[Verse 1]
Pulling the weight up [Em]against the wind
Is the plight of the galley slave
Chained to this cold bench,
six to the oar
Sentenced to an early grave

[Verse 2]
With [Em]iron in our souls and
fire in our wrists
Slicing the waves and the sea
[D]Rot[Em] ting below, they'll not let us go
Only mutiny or death set us [Dm]free

[Verse 3]
[Bb]Arms grow num[A]b and t[Bb]he blood doth d[A]rip
To the [Bb]beat of [A]the drum,
from the [Gm]crack of [Dm]the [A]whip
[Dm]We're

[Verse 4]
damned,

[Verse 5]
[Em]Splintered and split,
the hands of the doomed
Endlessly toil by the hour
Bodies broken, shackled with hatred

[Verse 6]
As the soul grows sour
[Em]
Off in the distance,
the cry of the gulls
And the smell of approaching land
With our last ounce of strength,
we pull to the shore
And dream to escape if we can

[Verse 7]
But [Bb]sirens [A]attack,
with their [Bb]songs of [Am]love
[Bb]Mermaids sur[Am]round us as [Bb]off we s[A]hove
Our [Bb]arms still num[A]b and
the [Bb]blood still [Am]drips
To the [Bb]beat of [A]the drum,
from the [Bb]crack [Eb]of the [Dm]whip[D]
[Em]Damned, [F]to the
