lyrics

December, 1913. Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, constant danger, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.

Calling on my brothers of the sea
We must go beyond
Summoned to a greater cause are we
Die and live on
We men of fate
Plunging into endless sea
Southward ever by the lee
Honor us when we are gone
Endurance carry on

On this lonely ship we make our home
Far from distant coasts
Over ragged waves and white cap foam
Faces like ghosts
We men of fate
Navigating by the compass rose
Spurn the northern star
Onward to Antarctica she goes
Hold fast the spar
We men of fate

Plunging into endless sea
Southward ever by the lee
Honor us when we are gone
Endurance carry on
Endurance carry on

The noise resembles the roar of heavy, distant surf. Standing on the stirring ice one can imagine it is disturbed by the breathing and tossing of a mighty giant below. We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man.

Over the frozen seas
Over the icy main
Creatures of nightmare rise
On the forsaken plain
Now in your darkest hour
Follow the master plan
Into the howling wind
Carry the hope of man

Into Antarctica
On the Endurance sail
Down in the coldest hell
Living to tell the tale
Yonder is our reward
Somewhere across the void
Steeling your heart for pain
Ready for hope destroyed

Step after step walk on
Night after night awake
Trust in your comrades
Death at the first mistake
Over Antarctica
As the Endurance falls
Carry the hope of man
Carry a light for all
