|
The old man before you |
|
Is not reality |
|
What I saw and tell you so |
|
None deemed it to be true |
|
A cry of dismay |
|
Turned my hair into gray |
|
And the odour of the sea |
|
For never shall abandon me |
|
The thunderous, raging void |
|
In which all oceans end |
|
Took me by supernal force |
|
Into the Maelstrom I descend! |
|
Flashing lights! Crushing sea! |
|
Thunder and storm came unto me! |
|
Blackened clouds and copper moon |
|
Eternity woke from it's slumber |
|
All day turned black - and night became |
|
The deeper I was swallowed the more was still |
|
A descent into maelstrom |
|
A descent into maelstrom |
|
Just how I could escape |
|
To this day I know not |
|
My Brig was torn to shreds |
|
And so the fishers lot! |
|
In my deep despair |
|
I jumped into it's eye |
|
It chewed me through and spit me out |
|
And so I found my way up high! |
|
Flashing lights! Crushing sea! |
|
Thunder and storm came unto me! |
|
Blackened clouds and copper moon |
|
Eternity woke from it's slumber |
|
All day turned black - and night became |
|
The deeper I was swallowed the more was still |
|
A descent into maelstrom |
|
A descent into maelstrom |
