With sails afurled they drifted forth The wind at their aft The smouldering clouds quickening A storm gathering bout their mast
The tumultuous torrents ravaging The thunder closing in The sailors madly battling Poseidon's wrathful whims
Gnashing and crashing the sails were lashing Billowing in the gale Defiantly singing they sealed the rigging Shouting out a salty tale Then came the crackling lightning To strike upon their fears Oe'r top a thrashing slough A galleon appeared
Her deck Had been scored As if by Leviathan's claw Deep blackened slimy trenches Of solid oak Torn raw
Unmanned and dismembered she's left adrift The fate of her crew shall remain a myth This derelict galleon bathed in pain A testament to Poseidon's reign
Her crew Seemingly gone Every man down to the last Tattered sails Hung wildly From the shattered remains of her mast
With their hearts filled with pride They merrily sang and cursed the skies
And as the storm came to a lull A sailor alive on the rotting hull Suffering
A starving Old seadog A skeletal wreckage Of the seaman He used to Be
That night The crew gathered round To hear Of what had happened In that Sea
And this was his tale
Now hearken me hearties to my tale of this night Lest the menace of these waters fill your proud hearts with fright Many nights ago we sailed through the twilight serene When we were set upon by a furious being
His yellow eyes peered hungry From deep beneath the swell His beak of rusted iron cruised with Barnacles and shells
His darkness was spotted Too late For he attacked A fourteen armed demon Of scaly black
Lashing out the men with a fury divine And pulling them down to his inky brine So swallow your courage and pride of any form And brothers, beware the calm that follows the storm
Beware the calm that follows the storm
With sails unfurled they drifted forth The wind at their sterns Under grey clouds the new sun was shining The weather long since turned
Sulking over the wispy waves A galleon beaten and torn Blackened slashes across her bow In the calm that followed the stormTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
