The moon cast its light o’er the ocean,
A silver path over the waves,
As she cast her light o’er the ocean,
Sailors rose from their watery graves.
Cast off,
Cast off,
Oh, cast off and send us to sea, to sea.
Cast off,
Cast off,
Oh, sail us to eternity.
The moon wept her tears o’er the ocean,
And silver motes fell on the sea,
Then scattered with stars was the ocean,
And stretched out to infinity.
Rise up,
Rise up,
Oh, rise up lines and be free, be free.
Rise up,
Rise up,
Oh, rise up to eternity.
The ocean was shot through with silver,
Motes of light danced on the waves,
No difference now, all is silver,
With no knaves in their watery graves.
