And the music plays on, as the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies on the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the north Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves part of the crime. Sailing on and on and North across the sea Sailing on and on and North 'til all is calm. The albatross begins with its vengeance A terrible curse a thirst has begun His shipmates blame the bad luck on the Mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on and on at sea, And the thirst goes on and on for them and me. "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." There, calls the Mariner, there comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. See...onward she comes Onward she nears, out of the sun See...she has no crew She has no life, wait but there's two Death and she life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now. Then...crew one by one They drop down dead, two hundred men She...She, Life in Death, She lets him live, her chosen one. "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh each turned his face with a ghastly pang, and cursed me with his eye four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan), with heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one." The curse it lives on in their eyes The Mariner he wished he'd die Along with the sea creatres But they lived on, so did he. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes. And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the Mariner sights his home Spirits go from the long dead bodies Form their own light and the Mariner's left alone. And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The pilots boat, his son and the hermit. Penance of life will fall onto Him. And the ship sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrieves the Mariner of his sins. The Mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell his tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things that God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Running Free, Running Free (Harris, Dianno) 8:16, Running Free (Live), Running Free Harris Dianno 816, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sanctuary, Sea Of Madness, Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, Shes Gone, Sheriff of Huddersfield, Sign Of The Cross, Space Station 5, Space Station No. 5, Still Life, Strange World, Stranger In A Strange Land, Sun And Steel, Sun Steel, Tail Gunner, That Girl, The Aftermath, The Angel And The Gambler, The Angel The Gambler, The Appariton, The Assasin, The Assassin, The Clairvoyant, The Clansman, The Duellists, The Edge Of Darkness, The Educated Fool, The Evil That Men Can Do, The Evil That Men Do, The Fallen Angel, The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner, The Mercenary, The Nomad, The Number Of The Beast, The Number Of The Beast Harris 448, The Number Of The Beast (Harris) 4:48, The Prisoner, The Prophecy, The Sheriff Of Huddersfield, The Sign Of The Cross, The Thin Line Between Love And Hate, The Thin Line Between Love Hate, The Trooper, The Trooper Harris 359, The Trooper (Harris) 3:59, The Unbeliever, Other Iron Maiden song Lyrics 2 A.M.
