Brave men set out to sea in the year 1845 Sent by their kings demand to explore the arctic ice Course set to north by north deep into the far unknown Sailing to what became their last voyage on the seas No one knew they would never return No one knew they would never come home And they sailed tall and proud With strong winds under blue skies But they would never come home Cold air runs through the sails The sea flowing blue in the sun Proud to be part of this plan To map uncharted lands Little did they know they would not return Brewing in the distance a force of nature When the storm was over their ship was bogged down In the land of ice and snow And they know they would never return And they know they would never come home All attempts to break free from the ice were all in vain And they were never seen again And they know they would never return And they know they would never come home And they sawed down their mast to heat the frozen crew But they would never come home And they know they would never return And they know they would never come home As their blood turned to ice As they froze to their deaths They knew they would never come home
