Schäffer the Darklord - Ghost Ship lyrics

I’m on a boat, I am the captain
Down below deck, hide in my cabin
Riding the waves, hearing them crashing
Gone is the crew, I am the last one
All I can do, hatches to batten
Calling to Zeus, release the Kraken
Wearing a noose, losing my traction
How did this happen? How did this happen?

Out in the blackness not one
Visible ship on the ocean
Mostly afloat, going to
Nowhere, rowing alone, Moaning to no one
Sails are in ribbons and
Tattered, rudder’s been shattered
Terrible weather has battered
Only companion’s a bird who
Keeps chirping and natters
None of this matters

That’s when I spy with my eye
A silhouette on the horizon
A hulking and crumbling vessel
That silences all of the cries of the sirens
The legends about it were true
And it seems that
I am the first to have seen it
If I don’t survive then there is no story
To tell and no one to believe it

She’s making her way, anchor’s aweigh
Every moment that I wait
I drift further astray
She may run aground, stay here and drown
Either way we’re going down, down, down

Yo ho ho and a broken bottle, empty fodder
For the sea to swallow
And I’m following a ghost ship
Stuck without a paddle
Cancellation of my travel
Fragile mind unravels in the shadow
Of a ghost ship lost upon the water
Taking stock of all forgotten
Docking down in Davy Jones Locker
On a ghost ship
As she advances I’m aghast and
Asking "Do I vanish
Here in madness or take my
Chances on a ghost ship?"

I cannot breathe, blood running cold
Proof of the tales that I’ve been told
When was she built? When was she sold?
When was she lost? What was the toll?
What if she’s reached? Breaching her hull?
What will I find? What does she hold?
What if it’s treasure? What if it’s gold?
What of her souls? What of her soul?

Lo and behold, mind spinning
And I’m beginning to find it imminent
My minimal time is ticking on by
I’m looking at sinking or swimming and
I’ve the slimmest of chance to
Be saved, listing away, Adrift in dismay
But I didn’t enlist in this mission with
Interest in living by digging up graves

As she grows so near
Her appearance brings fear, It
Feels like I’ve been summoned
But am I just hearing her spirit's?
Steady myself on the railing
Accepting my failings
Abandon attempts to keep bailing
My own ship is fatally ailing
But the derelict craft is
Somehow still sailing

Ghost ship ahoy, life boat deployed
There is nothing left here onboard to destroy
No moon in the sky, our doom it is nigh
Either way we’re gonna die, die, die

Yo ho ho and a broken bottle, empty fodder
For the sea to swallow
And I’m following a ghost ship
Stuck without a paddle
Cancellation of my travel
Fragile mind unravels in the shadow
Of a ghost ship lost upon the water
Taking stock of all forgotten
Docking down in Davy Jones Locker
On a ghost ship
As she advances I’m aghast and
Asking "Do I vanish
Here in madness or take my
Chances on a ghost ship?"

I’m already on a ghost ship
