Music: The Avett Brothers/Scott Yancey Avett/Timothy Seth Avett/Robert William Jr Crawford
(Mate) Not even here...
Not even in this charnel house can I rid myself of you
(Little Brother) We're bound together, shipmate
(Big Brother) Lashed to the wheel
(Captain) And the waves are rising
(Little Brother) Do you not feel the spray?
(Big Brother) And there's no food
(Little Brother) And there's no water
(Captain) And the sun is blazing
(Little Brother) And there's no hope of rescue
(Big Brother) You best drop to your knees, son
(Captain) Find God if you can
(Big Brother) Pray your heart out
(Captain) Wake heaven
(Big Brother) Salvation? He doesn't believe in the word
(Little Brother) Have you told them our story?
It would beat Shiloh hands down, wouldn't it, big brother?
(Big Brother) That it would, little brother
(Little Brother) You should tell them our story
(Captain) We should be remembered
(Big Brother) What you did
(Little Brother) Should be remembered
(Mate) What I did
(Captain) Tell them our story
(Mate) Let me die in peace!
(Captain) There's no peace until you speak the words
(Big Brother) No peace for you or for us
(Little Brother) We cannot escape
(Big Brother) We cannot move on
(Big Brother, Little Brother & Captain) Until you tell our story
(Big Brother) And tell it true
(Little Brother) And tell it all
(Big Brother) Bring it into the light
(Little Brother) Don't be afraid of it anymore
(Captain) Bring us into the light
(Big Brother) Release us
(Little Brother) Don't you want to find some peace?
(Captain) Some corner of heaven?
(Big Brother) God only gives you but one chance to testify true
