Oarsmen Lyrics & Tabs by Joe Banfi
Oarsmen
guitar chords lyrics
Commander's friend: surprise. Battle silence: draw close.
The galley creaks. Gulls cry. Slave-oars groan. Ship glides.
Death glides.
Christian blood-stained men move back and forth. Whips fly.
They love their prey: same faith. Could be rescued this time.
"Step forward, who's god did you choose?"
"I did nothing but… I did nothing but stay true."
Surrendered Ottoman Oarsmen set loose.
"I did nothing but…"
"He did everything. He did all but stay true."
"Let me explain false prayer."
Chinese blade: two hands.
Slavers, they sing, "Lies.".
One last bow. One last bow.
"Step forward, who's god did you choose?"
Slavers, they sing, "Lies.".
One last bow. One last bow.
"Step forward, who's god did you choose?"
"I did nothing but… I did nothing but stay true."
Surrendered Ottoman Oarsmen set loose.
"I did nothing but…"
"He did everything."
"I did nothing but…"
"He did everything. He did all but stay true.
"He did everything. He did all but stay true."
