Slow we go and slow we rise
Hold the course, the stormy isle
Dark abode, batter my sails
Waves are strong, clouds roll in

Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come

The sky is red, I see the face
Of the one who'll take my place
I say a prayer and close my eyes
My aim is true, the bullet flies

Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come

The seeds we sow, the fruit we reap
Tide of death is rising
Ain't no grave can hold me down
One foot in hell, one sacred ground
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on

Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on
End will come

The tale is told, my fate is writ
And I weep, it starts again
