I fell asleep
On a dark and starless sea
With nothing but the cloak

Of God's mercy over me

I come upon strange earth

And to a great black cave
I dreamt I awoke
As if buried in my grave


We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up


Bones of sailors from the north
And sailors from the east
Lay high and up high

In the in the belly of a beast

A beast should you wander in its path

On your ship and your flesh you serve
You disappear from this world
'Till you've been swallowed up


We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up


Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

We trusted our skills

And our good selves
Put our faith that with God
The righteous in this world prevail


But we've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up

Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up


We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world

We've been swallowed up

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
