[00:31.95]The crew froze as he wiped the blood off on his coat
[00:35.92]And threw the helmsman ruthlessly overboard.
[00:40.62]In defiance of the storm, that kept them anchored for so long, he swore an oath to forfeit right and wring.
[00:52.30]Irreverent he cussed loudly: "I will round the cape,
[00:57.05]even if I have to sail until doomsday!"
[01:02.87]Their petrified facial expressions could tell: their master was like a devil on this floating piece of hell.
[01:45.60]There and then he gave the signal of departure.
[01:50.11]"Make sail and weigh the hook!"
[01:52.15]And so they left the harbor.
[01:55.13]Hear the Easter bells tolling through the roaring sound of a rough sea, accompanied by the sight of a ship sailing towards her destiny.
[02:05.23]What a spectacle of Blasphemy.
[02:19.37]There was no rejoice after his mad choice.
[02:28.58]Sails were lost, decks were flooded and lightning turned their ship into a coal-black carcass.
[02:37.95]Anxiety replaced vainglory.
[03:39.14]The storm died down but a sinister shroud of darkness remained, for the daylight came no more.
[03:56.18]Floating in unending dusk, adrift on liquid ground.
[04:03.56]Months went by and land was never found.
[04:09.07]Food supplies putrefied and pestilence broke out.
[04:13.04]Suicide became routine, some chose suspension, others jumped and drowned.
[04:18.96]The dead were sown in hammocks and disposed of in the sea, buried in a watery grave, after a short ceremony.
[04:47.72]The crew froze as he left his cabin with knife and gun, slaughtering what was left of them one by one.
[04:56.67]There was an evil murderous glimpse in his eyes.
[04:59.06]By the time he was done, the ship was desecrated by death and demise.
[05:07.64]Van der Decken lashes himself to the wheel, swearing at Christ: "I shall not yield!"
[05:12.55]All at once a new storm rose and lightning struck.
[05:17.50]The top mast broke off, impaling him, a shard of the crest piercing his chest, in a standing position nailed to the deck.
[05:24.59]And so a man dies, and a ghost resurrects.
