The Heroine Lyrics - Reed Lou

The heroine stood up on the deck 

The ship was out of control 

The bow was being ripped to shreds 

Men were fighting down below 

The sea had pummeled the boat for so long 

That they knew nothing but fear 

And the baby's in his box 

He thinks the door is locked 

The sea is in a state 

The baby learns to wait for the heroine 

Oh, oh, for the heroine 

Locked in his defense 

He waits for the heroine 

The mast is cracking as the waves are slapping 

Sailors rolled across the deck 

And when they thought no one was looking 

They would cut a weaker man's neck 

While the heroine dressed in a virgin white dress 

Tried to steer the mighty ship 

But the raging storm wouldn't hear of it 

They were in for a long trip 

Baby's in the box 

He thinks the door is locked 

He finds it hard to breathe 

Drawing in the sea 

And where's the heroine 

To fire off the gun 

To calm the raging seas 

And let herself be seized 

By the baby in the box 

He thinks the door is locked 

The woman has the keys 

But there is no moment she can seize 

Here's to the heroine 

Who transcends all the men 

Who are locked inside the box 

Will the lady let them out 

Oh, the heroine, ooh, ooh, the heroine 

Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine 

Strapped to the mast, the pale ascendant heroine
