The Mighty Regis - Celtic Storm lyrics
rate meBlack clouds come rolling, weather is charging like a nightmare<br />
Fear turns to panic, and there's no safe place to hide<br />
Givin' no fair warning, caught up in this riptide<br />
Shallow breath now you're drowning, rocks and monster waves collide<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
Thunder shakes the ground, lighting snapping through the heavens<br />
Hail, wind and water, a dark army they surround<br />
Celtic storm is upon us, demon gusts deadly dancing<br />
Batten down them hatches, pray for morning's early rise<br />
<br />
Churning foam port and starboard, mast's moans heighten terror<br />
First mate screaming orders, they're swallowed by the howls<br />
Down below sailors huddle, silent mutters to absent angels<br />
Hope disappears like moonlight, the galley echoes dooming growls<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
Calm falls like a ghost, the brine settles a scolded child<br />
Topside to see the stars, the hereafter's knowing smile<br />
Swabbies cry out in triumph, believe clearing conquered chaos<br />
Long to see a harbor, land loving for a while<br />
The depths cradle, now peaceful, but can't fight the eerie feeling<br />
Sails begin to flap, something wicked on it's way<br />
Mist and fog in the crows nest, last prayers all but given<br />
Rally to your feet, boys, the devil's come back to play<br />
<br />
From the stern returns the fury, the eye closes to the struggle<br />
The bows men now overboard, this clipper pays at such a cost<br />
Five more salties go a-missing, taking too much unholy water<br />
Can't feel the deck below them, 58 souls now are lost<br />
<br />
Disappear below the surface, faint cries slip away forever<br />
On down to Captain Jones, they're committed to the deep<br />
The gaels cackle to the cliffs, Celtic storm whips wild with its anger<br />
Makes the ocean lunge and dive, while forever the haunted sleep<br />
<br />
