Up She Rises

(album: The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls: Behind The Musical - 2018)

[The Captain:]
Lift the anchor, raise the sail
Draw your sword and do not fail
Sight be sharp and aim be true
Captain's blade knows what to do

Through the salty sea air that blows
Up she rises, down she goes
Sailing to someplace that nobody knows
Singing up she'll rise 'til the morning

Captain keeps watch as the darkness grows
Up she rises, down she goes
They'll fall to no harm if my eyes never close
Singing up she'll rise 'til the morning

[Emily:]
What is she doing?
And does she ever sleep?

[Inmate #1:]
Not with her eyes closed
She says she's watch to keep

[Emily:]
She speaks so strangely
She's not from London?

[Inmate #2:]
No, I've heard she's German

[Emily:]
I knew it!

[Inmate #2:]
Keeps to herself

[Emily & inmates:]
But when we're sleeping
Up she'll rise
Up she'll rise
Up she'll rise

[The Captain:]
Through the thunder and rain that flows

[The Captain & Emily:]
Up she rises, down she goes

[The Captain:]
A pirate will fight when her enemy shows
Singing up she'll rise 'til the morning
