about

This is, by far, the most historically accurate Fair Mariner song.

lyrics

I know you're running fast
I know you're scared as hell
And you can hide your face, but James,
You know I'm coming just as well

You'll never find the river
You'll never make the shore
But if I get my way, man, James,
You might make it to the bottom of the ocean floor

You'll see my shadowed eyes
But you won't hear a thing
(There's a ghost in the water!)
So if you're ready to die
I'm ready to spring
I am the Ocean King

I think you know you're wrong
I think you're scared to lose
I think you've known for weeks, and still, James,
You haven't told your crew

There is a moment lost
Between your mind and tongue
When you can weigh the cold regret
Against the water in your lungs

You'll see my shadowed eyes
But you won't hear a thing
(There's a ghost in the water!)
So if you're ready to die
I'm ready to spring
I am the Ocean King
