Riegal |
| First I will describe the scene to you |
| Do you have it right? |
| In 1944 the Riegal she went down |
| She went down with 4,000 prisoners |
| Asleep on board |
| Well now do you, |
| I want to know if you |
| Have it right, is it like |
| The borders of a dream |
| Have taken you inside? |
| The Riegel was a mighty ship |
| 4,000 prisoners strong |
| The Captain he was gallant |
| Or perhaps he was a prisoner, too |
| Who’s to know for sure who’s who? |
| One night it was very late |
| The Riegel tore its side |
| 4,000 prisoners and the Captain |
| They were trapped inside |
| Has there been any news? |
| I feel so out of place |
| The Captain’s always busy |
| Being in a state of grace |
| But what I want to know is: |
| Are you listening out there? |
| The crew they were a sorry lot |
| Blinded by their blood |
| The Captain he whispered orders |
| You could not hear him above the flood |
| Then somebody said, «the ocean’s here,» |
| But someone said «No, there’s more» |
| And the last thing I remember |
| Is a broken hand clinging to the Captain’s door |
| Has there been any news? |
| I feel so out of place |
| The Captain’s always busy |
| Being in a state of grace |
| But what I want to know is Anybody listening? |
| Is anybody listening? |
| Is anybody listening? |
