Lashed by the waves through the heart of the storm The shore only vaguely in sight The beam of the beacon radiantly warns Of cliffs lurking nigh For the ship to pass by But the rain distorted vision leads the freighter awry In the thickening fog, a shadow takes form Cleaving the wafts, a monstrous figurehead appears A vessel spewed out from the guts of Hell With artillery full ablaze it draws deadly near The freighter's crew feels the grip of doom closing, all too well The undead mariners appear! Warlike howls on deck! Waving jagged blades in bony fists, coming for their neck "Oh father have mercy, let us be spared!" A dead scared young sailors desperate prayer Through the smoke and the fog, the cannons blast forth Wood burst to shreds, the cargo ship's sails ablaze Awaiting the onset of the frothing horde The victimized crew has seen the last of their days Grapnels thrown, the stygian fiends leap on board Slowly A commanding gait The captain comes forth Death incarnate! The battle cries quite down The commander's face, a frown In its black hollows lies A set of haunting human eyes Uniformed, keenly dressed A gaping hole in his chest A simple gesture of his hand Resumes the onslaught of the Damned! "Oh father have mercy, let us be spared!" The young sailor, fatally wounded, he stares The undead finishing blow inbound! Grappling hooks on deck! The lad sees the deathless captains eyes, coming for their neck A glimpse into the dead man's past, a memory still warm He'd left his heart with the lighthouse keeper's daughter, and sailed into the storm His ship and life claimed by the sea, never to return again! Fire amidst the crashing waves - his lure, his bane! The skeletal raiders board their prey aloud Swords are singing, men are screaming, death is wandering about Amidst all the fighting and dying the demon captain turns To a shine, horrifying, among the burning planks The young seaman's corpse splayed on the broken deck A heart-shaped pendant, gleaming from the fire, around his broken neck His features so familiar, even in this lifeless state Recognition strikes the fell-commander way too late The locket on the dead boys chest, more than a lucky charm A gift from an aching mother, to save her child from harm The tragedy sealed by a wail sounding cross the watery plains And only endless damnation remains
