Lyrics
Part I (Captain John Davy)
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.
