After months on the pack ice
We finally saw water again
But although we were well on our way
The captain had really bad news
The current was too strong and brought us back
To our starting point
We had to change direction
Elephant Island was the only choice we had left
28 souls, 200 miles of cold
Everything is wet, the island is in sight
We haven't reached it yet
A storm is coming up
Two more days of struggle
I bring you home
From this damn snow
Back from the cold
I'll take you home
After great hardships
We found our paradise
But in the arctic ocean
The island remains only a stone
Nobody lives here
No one will come to save our souls
To choose death is easy
But suffering needs courage in the end
What can we do
What can we do
We have to go
I bring you home
From this damn snow
Back from the cold
We had to move on if we didn't want
To face our certain death
The carpenter took parts from the boats
To rebuild the "James Caird"
6 men set out for south georgia
800 nautical miles in a makeshift boat
22 stayed behind and waved
Until the boat was out of sight
16 icy sailing days
We reached the coast we had longed for (so long)
The ship was destroyed, the comrades near death
3 men had to go on foot
The rescue is on the other side
Of the high peaks on this damned island
36 hours of polar hiking
"Look out!"
There is the next steep slope
Time is running out
300 metres down
We slided on a noose
Made from our rope
The siren seems to scream
To start the whalers shift
Rescue and security!
I bring you home
From this damn snow
Back from the cold
I'll take you home
