Ghost of the Ocean - Uriah Heep

A ghost of the ocean

Tells of the women of the sea

They ran from oppression

In the forgotten history

No innocents

No leader to defend

No God, no government

And it’s hard to believe they were riders

On the sea

Women of fortune

Always to be prepared to die

Blood on a knife edge

Flag of the sea flying high

No innocents

No leader to defend

No God, no government

And it’s hard to believe they were riders

On the sea

A world of action strong and free

Adventure, war and loyalty

The mermaid tyrant loved to fight

She ties the noose and pulls it tight

Treacherous island

Somewhere to hide on no man’s land

Ships in the harbour

Waiting to hear the battle plan

No innocents

No leader to defend

No God, no government

And it’s hard to believe they were riders

On the sea
