How quiet is the rolling breath Of foam upon it’s seeping death The grey winds taken from the shore As sand and rock are left no more For life will not tally beneath the sail Of crisp white linen, slashed by rusted mail No more, no more the bell will chime Upon the passing winds of time The dead are sailing upon quiet seas Their hopes are scattered in the breeze Far from home and far to go These unquiet souls lie below Cursed forever, to sail and roam This Flying Dutchman will hold no home No port awaits this journey’s end No harbour sits around the bend It sails through twilight, night and day The bow holds its course, the star leads the way
