One windy night
an old man stares to horizon
a little boy by his side

Hearing the tides
breaking into the cliff
seagulls fying so high

"grandpa, tell for me the story
of that one spooky night
when you saw that strange ship
passing you by"

[Chorus:]
It was the ship
of a lost mariner
forever cursed
to plow the deep
He will sail into the sunset
untill love redeems him free
The captain, just
a skeletor,
immortal indeed,
Don't stare into his eyes
or you'll be dead meat
A rower in Kekropses galley

Years passing by
The boy is still staring to horizon
the moon is so bright

In the moonlight
could there be the ship
from the tale that I heard
when In was a kid

"Father, tell for me the story
of that one spooky night
when you saw that strange ship
passing you by"

[Chorus]

In the whirlpool
of life
be happy
if that ship
just passes you by

'cause if you get a part of that crew
He'll never set you free
and your soul will never rest in peace

[Chorus]
