about

The song Burn The Boats deals with the destruction of traditional fishing vessels in the Mediterranean Sea, particularly in Greece, for the benefit of larger scale commercial fishing.

lyrics

The sea is black
Fishing boats come empty back
Big ships are taking the fish far away
Plundering the hope of those who must stay
They’re crying, despairing: will they all now die?
Searching for a way out but finding a lie
There is no hope when profit rules all
Greed will succeed, humans will fall

Dead bodies they bring from the sea
People in despair that had tried to flee
Like a plague greed in the world has spread
Slave till you fall, and then beg till your dead
Broken they beg their children to feed
Surrender themselves to the masters of greed
Burn your ships and become our slaves
The aid you’ll get for it will lead to your graves

I will not bow, I will not be a slave I will stand tall
I will not yield, I will not abandon the great seas call
I won’t bow down, so rise up and come follow me
We will not yield, we will build a new ship, and we’ll sail the sea

Solo: Daniel

We will set sail over the sea
We will catch fish, we will be free
The fish we catch we’ll bring back to shore
No one shall starve forevermore

We will not bow, we will not be slaves we will stand tall
We will not yield, we will not abandon the great seas call
We won’t bow down, so rise up and come follow me
We will not yield, we will build a new ship, and we’ll sail the sea

Solo: Igor
