Here is a new song for April. A folk rock tune with sea shanty. This song is about a ship that went down in 1915 and an excursion to Antarctica.

The Endurance

say goodbye to sunny nightmares
hoist a gunny sack of mucker`s misery
you walked through frozen hell already
it`s your icy halos I see
your icy halos I see

with a sextant, prayers a compass
calling time to the oar
we may reach South Georgia`s fortress shore
saved for another war
I`ll save you for another war

trust to luck boys trust to luck
leaving The Endurance
to climb the Weddell Sea
boys oh my boys
it`s such a brutal journey
we`ll meet the naked soul of man
before we`ll see the land

a task to last beyond these hours
the gallows mast will witness
leave your broken boots your cups your sickness
say farewell for we`re not witless
we are men we are not witless

trust to luck boys trust to luck
leaving The Endurance
to climb the Weddell Sea
boys oh my boys
it`s such a brutal journey
we`ll meet the naked soul of man
before we`ll see the land
