[Verse 1]
Heave with me, boys
Hands on the rope
Salt in the cut
Weight in the throat
Boots on the deck
Boards groan below
We move like stone
One breath, one row
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull it slow
Pull it down
Feel that drag
All around
Shoulder burn
Jaw locked tight
Keep your hands
On the line tonight
[Chorus]
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Hold it in place
(Hold it in place)
Lean with the tide
(Lean with the tide)
Don’t lose your face
Don’t lose your face
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Grind through the strain
(Grind through the strain)
Low in the chest
(Low in the chest)
Stay in the chain
Stay in the chain
[Verse 2]
Mud on the cuffs
Tar on the palms
Winch to the bone
Work like a psalm
Old scars talk
Under the skin
We were made hard
To haul and grin
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull it slow
Pull it down
Feel that drag
All around
Shoulder burn
Jaw locked tight
Keep your hands
On the line tonight
[Chorus]
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Hold it in place
(Hold it in place)
Lean with the tide
(Lean with the tide)
Don’t lose your face
Don’t lose your face
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Grind through the strain
(Grind through the strain)
Low in the chest
(Low in the chest)
Stay in the chain
Stay in the chain
[Bridge]
One more pull
Then two more
Hips to the wood
Feet to the floor
If we fall
We fall as one
Dark on our backs
Still moving on
[Final Chorus]
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Hold it in place
(Hold it in place)
Lean with the tide
(Lean with the tide)
Don’t lose your face
Don’t lose your face
Anchor the line
(Anchor the line)
Grind through the strain
(Grind through the strain)
Low in the chest
(Low in the chest)
Stay in the chain
Stay in the chain
