Night Omen

Deep down at the midnight of soul

I awakened to find myself all alone

Struggling between the wet sheets

I've been dying in the midpoint of reality - and dream -

My heart it pounds by the vision I've seen

And I truthfully hope it was merely a dream

That the gods ain't showing an omen to me

Holding the key to my destiny

A ship without hope caught by the sea storm

A seaman's curse, nature rears its ugly side

And onto the deck, she's but a girl

Unfair fate, she's to die a nasty death

Torrent of darkness, showering despair

The crackling of thunder, the waves take her under

Below she

Gasps for air

Life soulless dolls, sailors fall to the sea

Their cries over silenced by the bowling winds

They meet a merciless watery doom

Tomorrow I travel; will I end up doomed, too?

In my journeys I've traveled in paths yet unknown

As I am a man, who calls no place home

Even if the end lies so near I know

I won't give in to fear

In the night I go, to pay homage

To the Goddess of the sea, the bitch Queen Umberlee

The shrine has been built there since years

To let a seaman get rid of his fears

There is a need for such a wicked belief

To praise the Queen, to quench all her anger

As anyone who ventures to her domain

Puts his life in her hands
