Lyrics
The Hunt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Flat and silent the ocean lies
Pequod's captured in a lull
No gentle breeze blows in the sails
Heated by a salty carpet from above
The crew's emaciated, survival tough
Giant billows bear a mighty whiteness
Screams from the lookout: Whale ahead!
I want this whale, I want it dead!
Hysteria on upper deck
Rabid flames in ahab's eyes
Hustle and bustle, drag and pull
Panic affects the whaler's moves
Fire!
The harpoon slashes the water's surface
Diving into darkness - the prey escapes
Swallowed by the sea
Starboard lies calm
Portside full of wrath
Possessed by unhuman anger
The heart brawly pumps the blood
Through the marionette of rage
Ahab's visage runs red
I want this whale, I want it dead
A fin erupts from the abyss
Proudly undulates the flesh
Reaches bright horizons inviolable, manorial
An arrow loosens
And spirit's away
