Ahab - Like Red Foam (The Great Storm) lyrics

rate me

Call me Winterstraw

Mere passenger of the Glen Carrig

Preparing to meet so great a storm

As might well fill the heart with panic

For now it was being slow and oily black

Against the mighty redness of the sky

One quarter of the sky -

A mighty arc of blood-red fire

Doesn't matter who you are

Within the elements fierce ire

The sun, a great full moon

Pale and slightly monochrome

For it appeared to crest

The black cloud like red foam

The sea was all blown up

Into vast clouds of dust

Like froth and I knew

The storm was upon us

No man heard aught of the thunder

The storm's roar made all else silent

Trying to burst our boats asunder

And my memory recalled the distant island

(May God have mercy)
