The Wreck Of The Hesperus

We`ll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea `Make haste to your funeral,` cries the Valkyrie We`ll hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy sea `Here lies a coffin,` cries the cemetery, it calls to me And all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed No thoughts explained, no moments gained, all hope forever lost One moment`s space, one moment`s final fall from grace Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire We`ll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea I fear a mighty wave is threatening me We`ll hoist a hand, or drown amidst this stormy sea `Come follow after,` cry the humble, `You will surely see ...` But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed No moments gained, no thoughts explained, all hope forever lost One moment`s space, one moment`s final fall from grace Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
