Description
Take me down to the wreckageTake me down through the foam
She lies on the sandy bottom where
She hides her silver and bones
Far below lie our brothers
Far below the icy waves
Take me down to the wreckage and
Take my breath away
'Tis only the bravest few
That row out past the waves
Well off they go where the whale fish blow
And they hope to earn their pay
The Defiant's crew of six brave men
Heaved ahead to make their catch
But the angry giant over threw the Defiant
And those six men breathed their last
Take me down to the wreckage
Take me down through the foam
She lies on the sandy bottom where
She hides her silver and bones
Far below lie our brothers
Far below the icy waves
Take me down to the wreckage and
Take my breath away
Two mighty warships engaged
Cannon fire barked over the sea
Well they bucked and pitched and howled and screamed
Until one cried victory
The sailor’s shouted their curses
And said their prayers in the same breath
Until a wave reared up high over their heads
Now under the sea they'll rest
Take me down to the wreckage
Take me down through the foam
She lies on the sandy bottom where
She hides her silver and bones
Far below lie our brothers
Far below the icy waves
Take me down to the wreckage and
Take my breath away
The merchant ship the Devil's Trick
Has now plotted out her course
The lines on the map lead to hell and back
And took them head first through a storm
The thunder beckoned her come closer
And the rain began to fall
The Atlantic claimed the Devil's Trick
And sent them down to hell after all
Take me down to the wreckage
Take me down through the foam
She lies on the sandy bottom where
She hides her silver and bones
Far below lie our brothers
Far below the icy waves
Take me down to the wreckage and
Take my breath away
Take me down to the wreckage
With this sailor’s prayer I say
For the tide will claim my body
And the sea will be my grave
Take me down to my brothers
Take me down below the waves
Take me down to the wreckage and
Take my breath away
