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
