The Hunting of the Snark movie - The Vanishing lyrics

<br>

<br>

(Baker)<br>

It seems to me, Since we landed in this lonely place,<br>

That the sun now shines of its own volition,<br>

And this crazy mission isn't just a wild goose chase;<br>

We sailed for years<br>

Till we found ourselves upon a beach,<br>

Gaining on this beast from the realms of fiction,<br>

I've a strong conviction it's a thing we soon may reach.<br>

<br>

"The Baker is shouting!" the Bellman said.<br>

"He is shouting like mad, only hark!<br>

He is waving his hands, he is wagging his head,<br>

He has certainly found a Snark!"<br>

<br>

Erect and sublime, for one moment in time,<br>

In the next the wild figure they saw<br>

(As if stung by a spasm) plunge into a chasm<br>

While they waited, and listened in awe.<br>

<br>

"It's a Snark!" was the sound that first came to their ears,<br>

And it seemed almost too good to be true.<br>

Then followed a torrent of laughter and cheers;<br>

Then the ominous words: `It's a Boo-'<br>

<br>

They hunted till darkness came on, but they found<br>

Not a button, or feather, or mark,<br>

By which they could tell that they stood on the ground<br>

Where the Baker had met with the Snark.<br>

<br>

In the midst of the word he was trying to say,<br>

In the midst of his laughter and glee,<br>

He had softly and suddenly vanished away-<br>

For the Snark was a Boojum you see.<br>

<br>

(Hope)<br>

Don't let the memory die,<br>

Children of the Sky, heroes of the sea,<br>

And as your life passes by,<br>

Remember how it feels to be<br>

Children of the Sky.<br>

<br>

(Instrumental Section)<br>

<br>

(All)<br>

Don't let the memory die,<br>

Children of the Sky, heroes of the sea,<br>

And as your life passes by,<br>

Remember how it feels to be<br>

Children of the Sky.<br>
