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 |
