pirates for sail - tell god and the devil lyrics

[verse 1]
seven years a whaler, at sea for seven more
no braver men on earth now to comb that ocean floor
so load us in that whaleboat what drops down every day
no braver men on earth, boys, no matter what they say
so tell god and the devil they can try
but today’s not gonna be the day we die

[verse 2]
don’t want to hear that fearsome gale calling out to you
the seas so dark and cold below, there’ll be no saving you
so set that course on steady, as steady as she goes
just keep your eyes on looking out, and holler “there she blows!”
get those sails and lights a+ready, joe
get the load into the hold, and off we go

[verse 3]
there’s blacksmiths and there’s coopers, harpooners on the drill
they’ll work all day and night, boys, as only whalers will
we’ll chase those mighty devils, be ready to attack
don’t matter if you’re fishing scared, us whalers got your back
so tell god and the devil they can try
but today’s not gonna be the day we die

[verse 4]
god can’t fetch you out here, and the devil’s lost your name
your life hangs in the balance on this fragile human chain
and when your spirit’s waning, the fear is yours to tame
when you feel the darkness closing, pull up that anchor chain
so tell god and the devil they can try
but today’s not gonna be the day we die
so tell god and the devil they can try
but today’s not gonna be…
ain’t gonna be the day we die!
