The Mystery Of The Flannan Isle Lighthouse |
Flannan Isle lies in the South by the Point of Kedgeree |
Forty-seven miles from land in the roughest part of the sea |
On the finest day the sea is black |
They say no one has ever come back from there |
They say the wicked spirits haunt the lighthouse in the night |
Fierce ghosts of many men who tried to stop the warning light |
Waves are hurled against the ugly rocks |
Spray is changed at once to a wall of ice |
Bird who wants to rest its tired wings |
Lands, and it is turned to a of stone |
The island’s rocks have many caves that smell of dying flesh |
They lure the strangers to their maze of never ending length |
The empty cave is filled with sound |
in the ground below |
Each month a boat is sucked to perish by the rocky isle |
Each time the moon is full the currents are directed there |
Boats that sail too near to Flannan Isle |
Feel the weather change and they turn away |
If they dare to look behind them, still |
Screams of disappointment fill the air |
