Seven Tears Lyrics

[Instrumental]

Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
Seven ships set seven sails
Seven armies in seven gales
Seven tears, seven slaves
Seven wonders, seven graves
Seven whalers, seven sins
Seven virtues, seven fins
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Fathoms deep indigo
Knots and leagues of azure road
All the oceans, some stories told
It's in the heavens sevenfold
Tidal tsunami crashing white horses
Roller breaker, white-capped skyscraper
Tidal tsunami crashing white horses
Roller breaker, white-capped skyscraper
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
Clipper ship and galleon
Oil tanker, submarine
King Canute before the tide
King Canute was very wise
Nothing matters, king or queen
Nothing stops the seven seas
Seven seas in seven tears
Seven hours in seven years
Seven tears, seven tears
Seven tears, seven tears
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho
Ho, heave ho

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Discovered this band while looking through cd's at Borders. Didn't even know this was a Siouxsie side project. Pretty interesting stuff from what I've heard. And damn Siouxsie's voice is incredible.
