🎶 [Verse 1

(Moderate tempo, dark alt-rock groove)

Am — F — Dm — E]

In the black of night we stole the wind,

Ropes like snakes and hearts that sinned.

Sails were torn but eyes were bright,

Chasing ghosts through endless night.

🎶 [Verse 2

Am — F — Dm — E]

The sea, she whispers, "Turn around",

But our compass spins without a sound.

The cat on deck, he sees the stars,

And dreams of land behind the bars.

🌊 [Chorus

(Lift up — melodic, defiant)

C — G — Am — F]

Six knots and a bottle of rum,

We ride the wave, we don't succumb.

Raise the glass, let thunder drum —

To every soul that won’t be numb!

Six knots and a bottle of rum,

No gods to pray, no place to run.

With every howl, we overcome,

Our ship — our sin — our setting sun.

🎶 [Verse 3

Am — F — Dm — E]

They say we’re lost — we know we’re free,

Drunk on stars and salt and sea.

The raven laughs, the lantern sways,

We sail into the end of days.

🌊 [Final Chorus (double, fade out on echoing vox)

C — G — Am — F]

Six knots and a bottle of rum...

Our ship — our sin — our setting sun...

[echo] setting sun... sun... sun...
