	Lyrics We left our safe harbor full two years ago Sails out for glory round the cape down below Then on up the coast to Point Barrow we're bound To search for the passage that's never been found They'll sing of our bravery Write of our deeds Our names will be famous through the seven wide seas In days yet to come In stories yet told We'll not be forgotten Our glory will hold The captain he tells us that fate's on our side As we sail round Banks island the channel's still wide But the white towers close on our ship in the night Now we're cast on a shore in a land without light They'll sing of our bravery Write of our deeds Our names will be famous through the seven wide seas In days yet to come In stories yet told We'll not be forgotten Our glory will hold Winter arrives as the light slips away The cold and the dark our companions today This maddening silence it fills us with dread While the voices of loved ones creep into our heads The only passage we're likely to see Is the passage of time and its cruel destiny The eyes of the crew show a bitter resign As one more challenge is swallowed in brine They'll sing of our bravery Write of our deeds Our names will be famous through the seven wide seas In days yet to come In stories yet told We'll not be forgotten Our glory will hold Our journey continues In spring we prevail To the east we will travel By sled not sail In hopes that a whaler will spy us and then Take us back to our homeland our passage to end They'll sing of our bravery Write of our deeds Our names will be famous through the seven wide seas In days yet to come In stories yet told We'll not be forgotten Our glory will hold
