The sun is falling behind The hills I see through my window I feel my time here is clearly running out
And as I write these last words My thoughts are too dark and horrid As I recall my adventure I'm reaching out to all mankind
During the war When my ship Was held captive I managed to flee in a boat
No land in sight Just the sky and the Atlantic Desperately seeking for a shore
Sleeping from exhaustion in the sea Dreaming of the seabed underneath
One day I woke up and was sucked into a slimy black mire It seemed like the seabed had surfaced somehow A vast marsh of black slime was spreading beneath my feet and Dead fish were rotting under the blazing sun
I crawled into my stranded boat in fear I stood still - there was nothing I could hear The vanished sea had only left behind The rotten stench of death that filled my mind
The night fell and I felt secure to explore this new land To seek water and food and the means to escape Once again but this time not from men but from madness and death And from things that should not walk this earth
My eyes got used to the moonlight that saved me from falling straight into a Stygian chasm And across I could see a stone mass that was tall as a building and carved with shapes older than man
There a beast emerged right from the depths Just like a hellish god
One-eyed serpent face, it bowed it's head And made a monstrous roar
Next thing I knew I was lying in bed and Around me where sailors with a doctor in charge Their ship had found me adrift in the ocean And they'd pulled me up A sorry body dressed in rags
Still I wish all these were just a dream A grim delusion stillborn in the sea
But when I turned my palms towards my face I saw dark stains of tar marking my fateTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
