As far as any eye can see, night and water endlessly.
One thousand and one shoreless day, since the blackbird
took all hope away.
I am tight to the mast of a ghost ship, and it's
sinking, I know it's going down!
It floods my lungs with angry tide, the vela is my one
last guide.
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep
down...)
with your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep
down..)
Hard to drown!
Helmsman on a mirrored sky. Stars reflecting, drifting
by.
Time and tide won't wait, it seems, for those for whom
the pale moon gleams.
No candle lit, to guide me home, I pry for it.
Flotsam with a broken mast, sails are torn, and no hope
left.
Who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep
down...)
with your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep
down..)
Hard to drown! ALL HOPE IS GONE!
My final rest for evermore! Tell me...
...who holds my hand when it drags me down, (...deep
down...)
with your cold embrace my heart to drown? (...deep
down..)
Hard to drown!
For evermore I anchor on the ocean floor! For evermore,
this is my final rest, forever!
