Listen to the ship moaning
unfortunate wreck in pain
her masts breaking
her sails ripping
howling suffering creature
going down into the abyss
no mercy was given
the bottom of the sea
always was her destiny
never had a chance at all
too late to save her
irresponsible commander
reckless drunkards
their fights never ending
madness all around
the ship was drifting in storms
never had a chance at all
in those troubled waters
her fate was easy to foresee
but it was sad to realise
it was the end of her life
the end of an era
sooner or later it had to come
for she was doomed
from the very beginning
to be betrayed by men
to be devoured by the sea
crushed by the merciless beast
mourned by no man
but the wizard nods his head
while his great shining gull
is spreading wings so wide
under northern unforgiving skies
and stars cold and icy blue
over a whirling maelstrom
he flies off to distant shores
to bring his master the good tidings
yes the deed is done
fulfilled is his task
there is nothing left to say
there is nothing left to do.
