The Wreck Of The Hesperus
Well hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea
Make haste to your funeral, cries the Valkyrie
Well hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy sea
Here lies a coffin, cries the cemetery, it calls to me
And all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
No thoughts explained, no moments gained, all hope forever lost
One moments space, one moments final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
Well hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea
I fear a mighty wave is threatening me
Well hoist a hand, or drown amidst this stormy sea
Come follow after, cry the humble, You will surely see ...
But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
No moments gained, no thoughts explained, all hope forever lost
One moments space, one moments final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
