It's a long time ago but I never will forget Do you hear it do you hear it? I still hear them in the night We are sixty - strong and bold When we left home for the raid None of us where aware of our fate We were whipped by storm and rain And the clouds put out the sun Do you hear it - do you hear it? The helmsman cried a loud Sudden silence came down Cold voices filled the air On nothing the ship came black as night On a course of the damned we are sailing On a course of the damned we are sailing Forsaken by the gods Good bye whaler and your tunes You've left us far from home now Just booty of the hungry dark Odyssey Escape from hell I've left my Odyssey To fly away That's my destiny No longer scared on the seven seas We were all forced to stare Paralyzed by fear and spell Do you hear it - do you hear it? How the board and tackle groan Half swallowed by the sea Her turn sails hang in shards In his cruel eyes we saw the face of death In a back a shadow rows Growing eyes scorched will and soul Do you see it - do you hear it? Giggling sharp and cruel All at once I knew for sure It was the lord of death In the jibs droom my comrades jumped from board On a course of the damned we are sailing On a course of the damned we are sailing Forsaken by the gods Good bye whaler and your tunes You've left us far from home now Just booty of the hungry dark Odyssey Escape from hell I've left my Odyssey To fly away That's my destiny No longer scared on the seven seas Gone-it's gone just like a rat They've left me in his trap Oh god but why shall I be saved from death Laughter his reply He knows when I will die And now I'm at the mercy of his claw Like driftwood on the sea So far from joy and glee But I will find my way back to my home Like misty morning sun Dark lord of death you're gone And after weeks on sea I reach the shore If you do not believe Beware of playing death Do you hear it-do you hear it? The morning of the death It will always be there to remind me of their price In the nightmares I share their wretched fate Well I know that I have killed Like my shipmates I have killed Do you hear it do you hear it? All the victims curse my name On the sea his black ship lurks When the dark works over light And he's waiting for the sailors in the night On a course of the damned we are sailing On a course of the damned we are sailing Forsaken by the gods Good bye whaler and your tunes You've left us for from home now Just booty of the hungry dark Odyssey Escape from hell I've left my Odyssey To fly away That's my destiny No longer scared on the seven seas
