Dark and Soulless Night (From a dream)
It had been many days since the
Light of the sun or the moon had been seen
The angry sea waters lashed at
The huge ship, and tossed her to and fro
In the brackish, black
And churning void
The ship seemed to have become
A living thing, and I could see her face
And she was sorely afraid in the
Dark and soulless night
Destination unknown! Lost
Utterly lost in uncharted waters and time
Forceful winds tore at her sails
No crew could be seen aboard
Save a pale, white figure that stood at the helm
Surely, something sinister here
In and out of the eerie mist
She helplessly thrashed and rolled
The far away cries of the lost crew heard
from the frightening and deep abyss
The ghostly voyage continues
The lonely ship sails on
What ship is this, that some have seen
In chilling wonder and frightened awe
An ancient ship cursed for an evil work
And now forever lost in hellish eternity
Light of the sun or the moon had been seen
The angry sea waters lashed at
The huge ship, and tossed her to and fro
In the brackish, black
And churning void
The ship seemed to have become
A living thing, and I could see her face
And she was sorely afraid in the
Dark and soulless night
Destination unknown! Lost
Utterly lost in uncharted waters and time
Forceful winds tore at her sails
No crew could be seen aboard
Save a pale, white figure that stood at the helm
Surely, something sinister here
In and out of the eerie mist
She helplessly thrashed and rolled
The far away cries of the lost crew heard
from the frightening and deep abyss
The ghostly voyage continues
The lonely ship sails on
What ship is this, that some have seen
In chilling wonder and frightened awe
An ancient ship cursed for an evil work
And now forever lost in hellish eternity
