There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon The salt winds blowing, the slates fly free The birds take cover as the people flee Our chains are rusted from the days of old We're built on merit, is it built to hold? There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon The waves keep coming and we beat 'em back They drop like a lead-filled gunny sack Back underground till the soil's red They keep growing back so we swing at the head There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon The salt winds blowing, they crash the sail A doldrum turns to a bloody gael The seas start stirring and the sirens warn We grip our lines as we face the storm That there are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon There are whitecaps coming on the horizon Whitecaps coming on the horizon
