Between Now and Nevermore

This is a kind or piratical or Viking drinking song to celebrate life.

We know not what awaits upon the rising of the morning Sun

What mysteries await at night in shadows touched not by the light

But one thing that we know for sure is Death waits on the final shore

Between right now and nevermore we'll raise our sails and row the oars

One day we'll have our dance with Death

But for today we have our breath

So raise your pints and flasks on high

Today is not the day we die

Let us share this company

Lest Fate should take us suddenly

Aside we cast our fears and strife

We dance and drink and sing to Life

A bag of tricks is what we got. A wild card is what we bought

We took a chance with Fate one morn upon the day that we were born

Our deck was dealt and one by one we draw until the game is done

and what may come we cannot know. The tides of life will ebb and flow

One day we'll have our dance with Death

But for today we have our breath

So raise your pints and flasks on high

Today is not the day we die

Let us share this company

Lest Fate should take us suddenly

Aside we cast our fears and strife

We dance and drink and sing to Life

Let the tempest rage, it’s a war we wage

Between life and death to complete this quest

Let the oceans boil, it’s an endless toil

By winds untamed, destiny’s unnamed

By the blistering Sun, till our treasure’s won

By the frigid ice, till the final price

We will sail on strong, though the journeys long

We will stay the course. We will ride in force.

One day we'll have our dance with Death

But for today we have our breath

So raise your pints and flasks on high

Today is not the day we die

Let us share this company

Lest Fate should take us suddenly

Aside we cast our fears and strife

We dance and drink and sing to Life
