The Charnel House Lyrics by Swept Away Original Broadway Cast

Swept Away (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2025

[MATE, spoken]
Not even here...
Not even in this charnel house can I rid myself of you
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
We're bound together, shipmate
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Lashed to the wheel
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
And the waves are rising
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Do you not feel the spray?
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
And there's no food
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
And there's no water
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
And the sun is blazing
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
And there's no hope of rescue
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
You best drop to your knees, son
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
Find God if you can
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Pray your heart out
[CAPTIAN, spoken]
Wake heaven
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Salvation? He doesn't believe in the word
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Have you told them our story?
It would beat Shiloh hands down, wouldn't it, big brother?
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
That it would, little brother
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
You should tell them our story
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
We should be remembered
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
What you did
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Should be remembered
[MATE, spoken]
What I did
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
Tell them our story
[MATE, spoken]
Let me die in peace!
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
There's no peace until you speak the words
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
No peace for you, or for us
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
We cannot escape
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
We cannot move on
[LITTLE BROTHER, BIG BROTHER, and CAPTAIN, spoken]
Until you tell our story
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
And tell it true
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
And tell it all
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Bring it into the light
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Don't be afraid of it anymore
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
Bring us into the light
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
Release us
[LITTLE BROTHER, spoken]
Don't you want to find some peace?
[CAPTAIN, spoken]
Some corner of heaven?
[BIG BROTHER, spoken]
God only gives you but one chance to testify true
