A ghost of the ocean
tells of the women of the sea
they ran from oppression
in the forgotten history

no innocents
no leader to defend
no God, no government
and it's hard to believe they were riders
on the sea

women of fortune
always to be prepared to die
blood on a knife edge
flag of the sea flying high

no innocents
no leader to defend
no God, no government
and it's hard to believe they were riders
on the sea

a world of action strong and free
adventure, war and loyalty
the mermaid tyrant loved to fight
she ties the noose and pulls it tight

treacherous island
somewhere to hide on no man's land
ships in the harbour
waiting to hear the battle plan

no innocents
no leader to defend
no God, no government
and it's hard to believe they were riders
on the sea
