I have cursed and I've prayed 'cause sailors never cry
Why can't my sins just be forgiven So I can be reached by the rays of sun
And once again be amongst the living With all my deeds undone
And far far away I'm closing my eyes So I won't shed a tear 'cause a sailor never cries
Save me, please hear my voice Over black waves and pouring rain
Hear me, give me a choice Or my journey will be in vain
Sky and sea are suddenly meeting In chaos dark and supreme
And I feel my heart beating My ship floats into a violent stream
I'm so far away I gaze at the skies Still I won't shed a tear 'cause a sailor never cries
Save me, please hear my voice Over black waves and pouring rain
Hear me, give me a choice Or my journey will be in vain
Part II (The Kraken)
Far beneath in my abysmal sea grave I open up my eyes
I've got you there in the calm of the storm's eye I begin to rise
I'm the giant, I am the ancient Creature of the deep
You are the blessed, you are the chosen You disturbed my sleep
And so we meet eye to eye Through the green waves
Seven long arms reach for the night sky You're in my deadly grasp
I will awake you into this nightmare Just to hear you gasp
Down, down into the rage of the night sea We tumble on
For a moment in a deadly embrace then, suddenly you're gone. And so we meet...
Deeper, sinking deeper Life is fading, a calm is coming I'm closing my eyes
Deeper, sinking deeper Mist is fading, dawn is coming One man will rise Lo and behold - a miracle The triumph of man over beast
Part III (Bittersweet Victory) Narrative
He is alive still he wishes he had died Along with the creature he'd just Fought and won
The sleep of the dead seems to him denied Now after seeing his whole crew die One by one
Day after day with no wind and no tide Surrounded by ghosts from a distant shore
Night after night on the ocean he rides Hands on the helm he steers to forevermore
Epilogue
So quiet not a sound Above me only night
Alone out at sea With no land in sight
I'm far far away on a wide, wide sea Still come what may a sailor never cries
Save me, please hear my voice Over black waves and pouring rain
Hear me, give me a choice Or my journey will be in vainTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
