Swallowed Up (in the Belly of the Whale)‎

I fell asleep on a dark and starlit sea
With nothing but the cloak of God's mercy over me
I come upon strange earth and a great black cave
I dreamt I awoke as if buried in my grave
‎
We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up
‎
The bones of sailors from the north and sailors from the east
Lay high in a pyre in the belly of a beast
A beast should you wander in its path upon your ship and your flesh he'll sup
You'll disappear from this world until you've been swallowed up
‎
We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up
‎
We trusted our skills and our good sails
Our faith that with God the righteous in this world prevail
‎
But we've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up
‎
We've been swallowed up
We've been swallowed up
Disappeared from this world
We've been swallowed up
