....the sea just ignored the madman's ranting's
and the sun continued to beat down with relentless purification...........
GOD, TAKE THIS SALT FROM MY EYES
REPLACE IT WITH BURNING SAND
PULL MY WRETCHED SOUL, FROM THIS WICKED SEA
PLEASE LET ME DIE ON DRY LAND
I'VE BEEN AFLOAT IN THIS WOODEN BOX
SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
THE CAPTAIN WENT DOWN, LAUGHING, WITH THE SHIP
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE
CURSE MY BLACK LUCK
GHOST SHIP SORCERY
WATER WITCH SUNK HER CREW ALL DEAD
EXCEPT FOR ME
SUN BURNT, I WASHED ASHORE
CHASED BY DEATH BUT I'M ALIVE
WHO PULLS ME FROM, THIS SHORE LINE GRAVE?
BLURRY SHAPES THROUGH SWOLLEN EYES
I'VE BEEN AFLOAT IN THIS WOODEN BOX
SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
THE CAPTAIN WENT DOWN, LAUGHING, WITH THE SHIP
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE
CURSE MY BLACK LUCK
GHOST SHIP SORCERY
WATER WITCH SUNK HER CREW ALL DEAD
EXCEPT FOR ME
AWAKE, I CAN STAND
FACE TO FACE, WITH FRIENDLY SMILES
ISLAND, AMAZON WOMEN TRIBE
IM IN SEA GOD PARADISE
I'VE BEEN AFLOAT IN THIS WOODEN BOX
SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
THE CAPTAIN WENT DOWN, LAUGHING, WITH THE SHIP
HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE
CURSE MY BLACK LUCK
GHOST SHIP SORCERY
WATER WITCH SUNK
HER CREW ALL DEAD
BUT ME
''Though
I have escaped the insanity of the unspeakable ones
and a slow treacherous death,
I watch the rolling waves with a heavy heart.
I have many wives and offspring
but I've not yet completed my punishment.
Like some cruel joke, the laughing sea calls to me.
Day after day after day, the sun rises and falls,
and still no sign of a ship.
How I wish I never laid eyes on the Water Witch.
Water Witch!...oh how I hate thee.
I have it all...... but I fear I shall die a lonely man''
