I’m incredibly late, but the continuation is “To the Bottom of the Sea.” Not sure if this is considered spoilers or not, but there’s the preface: the ship was attacked by monstrously-sized squid or octopus, hence the cover art. The captain is probably just sounding off what most people will do: write off the ship as lost to the weather. “This Sea” talks about his wife’s response to him never coming back, along with further context for why he took to sailing in the first place. Enough of my pedantic essay, do enjoy the music

@@KaguroDraven Reading through a bit of comments and really thinking about the lyrics, it's about the captain having his ship sinking, but rather than take blame for his short comings. He shifts the blame "all on account of the weather." During a part of the song, one of the "Seaman Shaft had found him a raft and was makin' a speedy goodbye ." but because the captain is "At the risk of sounding absurd, I have always been good as my word", he threw a spear and it ended up "lancing into his eye, And I knocked his ass overboard!" The captain is saying "As the ship goes down, all on account of the weather, though we'll drown, there's no need to frown cause we're all going together" so that his crew accepts their fate with him, feeding into his power fantasea.

There were two rafts, and while the captain saw Shaft’s raft, didnt notice the one my character was on. And you can be certain we will hear the song for when he eventually returns to where the ship is to collect the treasure.

Here are the lyrics for whom ever was curious. Some of Voltaire’s best! A gargantuan hole in the bow Will the ocean to enter allow Oh what's more of a sin than letting it in? It's letting our good fortune out The nest to the storm did succumb While the crow hid his fear in the rum And the mast it broke and threw out the bloke And well now he's surely my chum Love letters from under his bed Holds a cabin boy over his head A futile try to keep it dry what tears have already wet They were pinned by a girl in Merak And the Javanese value their tact She'll conclude he's horribly rude Cause he's sure as hell not writing back Because this ship's going down All on account of the weather Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Cause I'm in good company As we're all going together I've had women of every kind But the only one truly was mine Is the one at home who'll be alone When I am full-up with brine For my son I had always a plan For to raise him as best as I can Oh well you can bet My only regret is to not see him grow to a man Cause this ship's going down All on account of the weather Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Cause I'm in good company As we're all going together I was sinking down into the brine When a curious sight caught my eye Seaman Shaft had found him a raft And was makin' a speedy goodbye At the risk of sounding absurd I have always been good as my word So a fish-gig, I, lanced into his eye And I knocked his ass overboard! Cause this ship's going down All on account of the weather Though we'll drown There's no need to frown Cause we're all going together And I won't say "Woe is me" As I disappear into the sea Oh hell! Cause you've all been so good to me So we're all going together

All hands ready! Forward, steady! Here's one voyage that you won't be forgetting. Fair winds blowing, starlight glowing, Hoist our banner, and let's get going! Dive right to it, pull right through it-- A knot so tight, you can't undo it. Chart your courses, find your purpose, All reflected in a glassy surface. Salty flavored air we savor-- Now rig those sails, rig 'em in my favor! Aye, a duty and an honor for the captain to go with the vessel when she's going down. That's the perfect job for me-- since, when it comes to swim or sink, I think I'd rather drown... Oh-- all at once, we're struck with the urge; it feels so right to submerge. What do you mean, that's not what you drafted in for? Here's your warning: we may capsize-- but then that's not a surprise. You tackle something so much greater than you, it pulls back. Foul winds yelling, waves are swelling; So much clamor, it's overwhelming! One sick feeling, rocking, reeling; The deck's awash, so take the wheel...! Aye, a duty and an honor for the captain to go with the vessel when she's going down. Now, if I'll be going down-- I'll make sure some way or another that you're coming with me... Flooding, spilling, lungs are filling, icy, chilling-- ain't this thrilling...? Gasping, drinking, grasping, sinking, eardrums bursting, vision shrinking... Because there's no end to it, this bottomless and blue expanse of sea, Instead of feeling locked in, tell me, are you free now? Here's one match you'll never win; however many gallons you take in, You'll never swallow up the ocean. Let it swallow you instead! Explore, once more, these great unfathomable depths. So vast, for sure, they'll take away your breath...

Welp, it's about 4:30 in the morning and I honestly can't think of anything I'd rather be doing right now. Wonderful music.

Tbf, I like having the music on here. Because I find with the previews on iTunes don't do the songs justice. Went to a gig of another band and previewed their albums and was thinking 'I'm sure they sounded better at the gig'. Found their songs on KZbin then subsequently bought their albums. It sucks people steal music, but for an Artist like Voltaire, and other bands I favour, I will gladly buy the albums to help support them.

Have you heard the Dread Crew of Oddwood? Heavy Metal sea shanties, WOOT! They play at Ren Faire here in LA, as well as pyrate faires around. Gooood stuff!
