Last Man on Deck |
So quiet not a sound |
Before me only night |
Alone out at sea |
With no land in sight |
I remember the day of our last goodbye |
I have cursed and I’ve prayed |
'cause sailors never cry |
Why can’t my sins just be forgiven |
So I can be reached by the rays of sun |
And once again be amongst the living |
With all my deeds undone |
And far far away |
I’m closing my eyes |
So I won’t shed a tear |
'cause a sailor never cries |
Save me, please hear my voice |
Over black waves and pouring rain |
Hear me, give me a choice |
Or my journey will be in vain |
Sky and sea are suddenly meeting |
In chaos dark and supreme |
And I feel my heart beating |
My ship floats into a violent stream |
I’m so far away |
I gaze at the skies |
Still I won’t shed a tear |
'cause a sailor never cries |
Save me, please hear my voice |
Over black waves and pouring rain |
Hear me, give me a choice |
Or my journey will be in vain |
Part II (The Kraken) |
Far beneath in my abysmal sea grave |
I open up my eyes |
I’ve got you there in the calm of the storm’s eye |
I begin to rise |
I’m the giant, I am the ancient |
Creature of the deep |
You are the blessed, you are the chosen |
You disturbed my sleep |
And so we meet eye to eye |
Through the green waves |
Seven long arms reach for the night sky |
You’re in my deadly grasp |
I will awake you into this nightmare |
Just to hear you gasp |
Down, down into the rage of the night sea |
We tumble on |
For a moment in a deadly embrace then, |
suddenly you’re gone. |
And so we meet… |
Deeper, sinking deeper |
Life is fading, a calm is coming |
I’m closing my eyes |
Deeper, sinking deeper |
Mist is fading, dawn is coming |
One man will rise |
Lo and behold — a miracle |
The triumph of man over beast |
Part III (Bittersweet Victory) Narrative |
He is alive still he wishes he had died |
Along with the creature he’d just |
Fought and won |
The sleep of the dead seems to him denied |
Now after seeing his whole crew die |
One by one |
Day after day with no wind and no tide |
Surrounded by ghosts from a distant shore |
Night after night on the ocean he rides |
Hands on the helm he steers to forevermore |
Epilogue |
So quiet not a sound |
Above me only night |
Alone out at sea |
With no land in sight |
I’m far far away on a wide, wide sea |
Still come what may a sailor never cries |
Save me, please hear my voice |
Over black waves and pouring rain |
Hear me, give me a choice |
Or my journey will be in vain |
