Death Defying

Ever since the world began - ooh wee
Men have sailed to foreign lands - ooh wee
And the fortunes that they've found - ooh wee
Are now buried in the ground - ooh wee

Some would say the ocean roars - ooh wee
As it stumbles to the shore - ooh wee
But to me it only sings - ooh wee
Of the sorrow that it brings  - ooh wee

All my friends are dead 
Or they're dying
Empty laughter turns into crying
It's death-defying

Well, I barely learned to swim - ooh wee
Just enough to save my skin - ooh wee
Now I'll never sail alone - ooh wee
And my harbour is my home - ooh wee

All our friends are dead 
Or they're dying, 
And our laughter only turns into crying, 
It's death-defying. 

If there's one thing that I've learned - ooh wee
It's the point of no return - ooh wee
And if that's to be our fate - ooh wee
Now's no time to hesitate - ooh wee
