Black Ship Songtext

Black Ship Songtext
They lured our ship to the shore that night
As our captain followed the beckoning light
But a ghastly scream and dreadful strike
Our wreckage was upon the rocks
Dragged by the tide and torturous swell
Thrashing men reach to the stars
As Floating corpses swarm around me
In the darkness our vessel lost to the sea
A terrible storm blew up - here′s the black ship
Travelling against the wind - fear the black ship
Retribution arrives - demon black ship
Hell Coming for his soul - Satan's black ship
What crew remain took to the shore
Gasping for a breath through watery lungs
Frozen limbs heave me across the sand
Staggering forth in search of dry land
Out of the mists the wreckers arrived
A horror that ensured that not one of us survived
Merciless slaughter the ravaging of men
Knife plunged into my heart I will see heaven
We lured their ship to the shore that night
As their captain followed our beckoning light
A lantern lashed to the cattle′s horns
We drove it along the ghastly shore
The ship it bowed and cracked on the rocks
And we prepared to set upon our prey
As the men surrendered to the sea
Lives are extinguished we holler with glee
A terrible storm blew up - here's the black ship
Travelling against the wind - fear the black ship
Retribution arrives - demon black ship
Hell Coming for his soul - Satan's black ship
Do save me from the devil
And the sailors, there
Looking to tear me to pieces
The wrecker and the black ship
The cry of the sea haunts me
These dark chambers deceive me
The devil he visits, he scolds me
A Neptunian abyss calls my name
A violent thrashing tempest, engulfs the lifeless coast
The ferocious storm winds, heave the shutters open
On the gloomy horizon, through a fetid squall
Veiled in oppressive mists, comes the black ship
A wrathful summoning, of his damned soul
This vengeful grim vessel, a portent of his doom
Condemned by Leviathan, his soul he did decree
To forever haunt the chasm, ′neath the raging sea
Do save me from thy devil
And my tormentors, there
Tearing my soul to pieces
The wrecker and the death ship
As our captain followed the beckoning light
But a ghastly scream and dreadful strike
Our wreckage was upon the rocks
Dragged by the tide and torturous swell
Thrashing men reach to the stars
As Floating corpses swarm around me
In the darkness our vessel lost to the sea
A terrible storm blew up - here′s the black ship
Travelling against the wind - fear the black ship
Retribution arrives - demon black ship
Hell Coming for his soul - Satan's black ship
What crew remain took to the shore
Gasping for a breath through watery lungs
Frozen limbs heave me across the sand
Staggering forth in search of dry land
Out of the mists the wreckers arrived
A horror that ensured that not one of us survived
Merciless slaughter the ravaging of men
Knife plunged into my heart I will see heaven
We lured their ship to the shore that night
As their captain followed our beckoning light
A lantern lashed to the cattle′s horns
We drove it along the ghastly shore
The ship it bowed and cracked on the rocks
And we prepared to set upon our prey
As the men surrendered to the sea
Lives are extinguished we holler with glee
A terrible storm blew up - here's the black ship
Travelling against the wind - fear the black ship
Retribution arrives - demon black ship
Hell Coming for his soul - Satan's black ship
Do save me from the devil
And the sailors, there
Looking to tear me to pieces
The wrecker and the black ship
The cry of the sea haunts me

To forever haunt the chasm, ′neath the raging sea
Do save me from thy devil
And my tormentors, there
Tearing my soul to pieces
The wrecker and the death ship
