I fell asleep on a dark and starlit sea

With nothing but the cloak of god's mercy over me

I come upon strange earth and a great black cave

I dreamt I awoke as if buried in my grave

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

The bones of sailors from the north and sailors from the east

Lay high in a pyre in the belly of a beast

A beast should you wander in its path upon your ship and your flesh he'll sup

You'll disappear from this world 'til you've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

We trusted our skills and our good sails

Our faith that with god the righteous in this world prevail

But we've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
