The old man before you
Is not reality
What I saw and tell you so
None deemed it to be true
A cry of dismay
Turned my hair into gray
And the odour of the sea
For never shall abandon me
The thunderous, raging void
In which all oceans end
Took me by supernal force
Into the Maelstrom I descend!
Flashing lights! Crushing sea!
Thunder and storm came unto me!
Blackened clouds and copper Moon
Eternity woke from its slumber
All day turned black - and night became
The deeper I was swallowed the more was still
A descent into maelstrom
A descent into maelstrom
Just how I could escape
To this day I know not
My Brig was torn to shreds
And so the fishers lot!
In my deep despair
I jumped into its eye
It chewed me up and spit me out
And so I found my way up high!
Flashing lights! Crushing sea!
Thunder and storm came unto me!
Blackened clouds and copper Moon
Eternity woke from its slumber
All day turned black - and night became
The deeper I was swallowed the more was still
A descent into maelstrom
A descent into maelstrom
