Can you hear wailing voices from heaven's end Can you hear the old helmsman cry I will tell you a story of punishment Execution under a bloodred sky So many years have passed Since that horrid day Chained to his ship It's floating aimlessly away He was faithful, he was brave Conquered the highest waves Always hunting enemies With one foot in the grave His life was like an hourglass Always near the end But everything has turned around At the last grain of sand He was born in the darkness of the storm Died in chains as a figurehead Forlorn in the night An eternal ride Night of the helmsman You can feel his breath behind Storm-ridden sea is telling 'Bout his godless fight He is crying out for vengeance Stay ashore to save your life He's sailing on tonight One day he became a traitor To protect his crew Honourable act for all the dangers They sailed through So he was chained to the bow Left to fate and storm Since then you can hear his scream When the night returns
