gary hurlstone mary’s fate 玛丽的命运 [album] şarkı sözleri
At first, we thought it was mist, sea-smoke, rolling in on a ball of luminosity. Briggs shouted to steer astern, his voice cracking with unease. I loosed the rope on the main-brace, watched as it slithered to the floor, alive as a snake. Below, the sea eddied in menacing swirls, pulling Mary towards the edge, but I knew I would soon be dreaming its secrets.
I swear the evil eye is looking
Come on boys, on the blue, something's there, do you see it too?
Come on sweet child hush, don’t you go fussing
Sail to the lee, come on for Santa Maria, let’s get over
Something’s wrong and it’s coming on strong, it’s taking over
And I don’t want to lose all I have
Is New York, New York, New York and home but Mary’s going down
Briggs and the crew did not know what to do, she’s going over
Ship is ablaze in a skeleton haze
Mermaids sing in a boiling sea singing a song called, My Destiny
And I don’t want to lose all I have
Is New York, New York, New York and home but Mary’s going down
The Reaper smiles scythe in hand, saying lines I don’t understand.
Time-time-time, not much of it left now
Up goes the cry, ‘we’re all gonna die’
Water is rushing dead men high. Easy boys now, she’s going under.
*In November 1872, Captain Briggs sailed from New York Harbour on the ill-fated ship, ‘The Mary Celeste.’ The crew of seven and Brigg’s wife and baby daughter were never seen again.
