|
Deep down at the midnight of soul |
|
I awakened to find myself all alone |
|
Struggling between the wet sheets |
|
I've been dying in the midpoint of reality - and dream - |
|
My heart it pounds by the vision I've seen |
|
And I truthfully hope it was merely a dream |
|
That the gods ain't showing an omen to me |
|
Holding the key to my destiny |
|
A ship without hope caught by the sea storm |
|
A seaman's curse, nature rears its ugly side |
|
And onto the deck, she's but a girl |
|
Unfair fate, she's to die a nasty death |
|
Torrent of darkness, showering despair |
|
The crackling of thunder, the waves take her under |
|
Below she |
|
Gasps for air |
|
Life soulless dolls, sailors fall to the sea |
|
Their cries over silenced by the bowling winds |
|
They meet a merciless watery doom |
|
Tomorrow I travel; will I end up doomed, too? |
|
In my journeys I've traveled in paths yet unknown |
|
As I am a man, who calls no place home |
|
Even if the end lies so near I know |
|
I won't give in to fear |
|
In the night I go, to pay homage |
|
To the Goddess of the sea, the bitch Queen Umberlee |
|
The shrine has been built there since years |
|
To let a seaman get rid of his fears |
|
There is a need for such a wicked belief |
|
To praise the Queen, to quench all her anger |
|
As anyone who ventures to her domain |
|
Puts his life in her hands |
