Descend Into Maelstrom - The Vision Bleak

The old man before you

Is not reality

What I saw and tell you so None deemed it to be true

A cry of dismay

Turned my hair into gray

And the odour of the sea

For never shall abandon me The thunderous, raging void

In which all oceans end

Took me by supernal force

Into the Maelstrom I descend!

Flashing lights!

Crushing sea!

Thunder and storm came unto me!

Blackened clouds and copper moon

Eternity woke from its slumber…

All day turned black — and night became

The deeper I was swallowed the more was still…

A descent into maelstrom

A descent into maelstrom

Just how I could escape

To this day I know not

My Brig was torn to shreds

And so the fishers lot!

In my deep despair

I jumped into its eye

It chewed me up and spit me out

And so I found my way up high!

Flashing lights!

Crushing sea!

Thunder and storm came unto me!

Blackened clouds and copper moon

Eternity woke from its slumber…

All day turned black — and night became

The deeper I was swallowed the more was still…

A descent into maelstrom

A descent into maelstrom
