"The Heroine"


	The heroine stood up on the deck
	the ship was out of control
	the bow was being ripped to shreds
	men were fighting down below
	The sea had pummeled the boat for so long
	that they knew nothing but fear

	And the baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked
	The sea is in a state, the baby learns to wait
	for the heroine
	Ooohhh, ooohhh, for the heroine
	Locked in his defense, he waits for the heroine

	The mast is cracking as he waves are slapping
	sailors roll across the deck
	and when they thought none was looking
	they would cut a weaker man's neck
	While the heroine dressed in a virgin white dress
	tried to steer the mighty ship
	But the raging storm wouldn't hear of it
	they were in for a long trip

	Baby's in the box, he thinks the door is locked
	he finds it hard to breathe, drawing in the sea
	And where's the heroine to fire off the gun
	to calm the raging seas and let herself be seized, by the

	Baby in the box, he thinks the door is locked
	the woman has the keys
	but there is no moment she can seize
	Here's to the heroine, who transcends all the men
	Who are locked inside the box
	will the lady let them out
	Ooohhh the heroine, ooohh, ooohhh, the heroine
	Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine
	strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine
