With the Salt on our Skin (A tune by Hwethlenn)



Below deck a plank bed
The sails overhead
Who has naught else, has naught to fear
Come aboard and tarry not on pier

Stand strong before the storm
Stand strong before the waves
And hearken when the men
Tell of the braves

With the salt on our skin
And the passion within
We sail forever on
Upon the wings of a swan
Till the end of the world
Till the end of all time
Into unboundedness sublime

Our bourn is our way
On the waves, on deck, in this lay
One crew, one soul
A bow and a stern as whole

Lords of the Wind are we
And Elves of the sea
To Mithlond and Edhellond
Beloved havens not far beyond

With the salt on our skin
And the passion within
We sail forever on
Upon the wings of a swan
Till the end of the world
Till the end of all time
Into unboundedness sublime

We sail through the tempest
On Hirgonui's behest
At sea we are at home
We are breaking the waves
We are riding the wind
The longing draws us out
And has us twinned

With the salt on our skin
And the passion within
We sail forever on
Upon the wings of a swan
Till the end of the world
Till the end of all time
Into unboundedness sublime
