But we'll shout from the bow your days are numbered"
A song will lift as the mainsail shifts
And they'll jerk from their beds and think they're dreamin'
The hour that the ship comes in
And the seagulls they'll be smiling
Like the stillness in the wind before the hurricane begins
Will not be understood as they're spoken
The hour that the ship comes in
And like pharaohs tribe they'll be drownded in the tide
And then the tide will sound and the wind will pound
And the sun will respect every face on the deck
And the words that are used for to get the ship confused
The hour that the ship comes in
For your weary toes to be a-touchin'
And the sea will split and the ship will hit
Then they'll raise their hands sayin', "We'll meet all your demands
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
And the rocks on the sand will proudly stand
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the morning will be breaking
But they'll pinch themselves and squeal and they'll know that it's for real
Then the sands will roll out a carpet of gold
The fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path
Oh the foes will rise with the sleep still in their eyes
And the ships wise men will remind you once again
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean
For the chains of the sea will have busted in the night
That the whole wide world is watchin'
The hour when the ship comes in
