Way, hey, pull away v3

Russian folk metal at a driving 130 BPM, blending distorted drop-tuned guitars and double-kick drums with balalaika tremolo, gusli arpeggios, and low folk fiddle. Minor-key melodies draw on Russian modes; earthy lead vocals stay restrained and close-miked, with wordless choir harmonies held back for key phrases. Add frame drum, tambourine, and raw room reverb for an intimate, unspoken tension.

[Verse 1] Haul it up, boys, early light Canvas wet and starboard white Brine on the rail, wood in our hands One more pull and we leave these sands [Pre-Chorus] Heave and hold Don’t let go Count it out Now, now, now [Chorus] Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, earn your pay Rope in the hand Storm at the door Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, one day more [Verse 2] Old Tom laughs with a toothless grin Scar on his cheek and tar on his skin I got a knot I know by name Every deck we cross feels near the same [Pre-Chorus] Heave and hold Hear the cry Lift it high Let it fly [Chorus] Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, earn your pay Rope in the hand Storm at the door Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, one day more [Bridge] When the black cloud climbs the mast We sing louder than the glass If the sea wants blood tonight We row like fire into the night [Final Chorus] Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, earn your pay Rope in the hand Storm at the door Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, one day more Way, hey, pull away Way, hey, home once more
