lyrics

The White Ship

I was a lighthouse keeper,
On the old harbor,
In Dreamland

Above sunken slimy rocks
That unseen
When the tide is high,
But seen
When the tide is low

Lore of the ocean
Came to me
Of foreign lands
And enchanted me

With the years it grew
More friendly and singed
Of other things
More strange and far
In space and in dreams

In the night,
Following
The celestial bird light,
I ascended
The White ship
Along the bridge
Of the foggy moonlit

Out of the South
The moon was full and high
Out of the South
The White Ship used to come
Smooth and glide
Over the sea

With the scent of breezes
And the songs of waves
Charming
As on a day of leave
Ocean waters embrace

Fabulous gardens and meadows,
Plague vales, and the abode
Of a thousand insane miracles
Passed before the ship's bow

Even the music
Of realm of eternal bliss and peace
Сould no longer seduce my ears

Heavenly bird's call drew me front
Into the haze of the unknown

Where the waters of all
Crumble in a roaring
Waterfall

Breaking against the rocks
In the bottomless gulfes
All chimerical hopes
And dreams

After the crash
I have opened my eyes
I saw that the lighthouse went out
And dead bird felt from the skies

Leaving behind the wreckage
Of the White Ship
At the old pier,
At the lighthouse,
In the moonlit

The gods are greater than men,
And they have won

Oceans told me its secrets no more
The White Ship is never destined to return
