[Instrumental Intro]

Our ship sailed on through the violent, burning sea

Not knowing of the danger waiting in store for me

We wound up all in mayhem, the vessel tossed and turned

The compass that had led us, we watched it slowly burn

We'll never see our homeland, we knew it all right then

That fate was on the second hand of borrowed time again

For the evil pathed our way

The men were being thrown, from left and right they fell

The water was as hot as Satan's forge from Hell

The questions that arose like: "Where the hell are we?"

I had a good idea: we're in the Devil's Sea

The Triangle! The Devil's Triangle!


[Short Instrumental Break]

See what's become of your life left to live

No hope from this land of trust

Hell's winds scream sacrilege, death from above

The great white closes in

The corpses afloat all shattered in rage

No hope for our peace of mind

Satan's vessels come closer and closer

He holds the sea's fate in his hand


[Short Instrumental Break]

Violence, terror, raging waters

Dying has scared us, nowhere to go now

Darkness prevails, no one to save us

Every one man for himself


[Short Instrumental Break]

The red gem of Hades is shining too hot

Satan's power becomes strong

His armies have killed so many before

A sacrifice must be done

The door of the chosen has opened for us

What sanctuary will we see?

See him panic, crying in lust

Screaming: "He'll get me!"


[Short Instrumental Break]

Violence, terror, raging waters

Dying has scared us, nowhere to go now

Darkness prevails, no one to save us

Every one man for himself


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo]

Our ship sailed on through the violent, burning sea

Not knowing of the danger waiting in store for me

We wound up all in mayhem, the vessel tossed and turned

The compass that had led us, we watched it slowly burn

We'll never see our homeland, we knew it all right then

That fate was on the second hand of borrowed time again

For the evil pathed our way


[Short Instrumental Break]

Every one man for himself
