The Albatross 2 Lyrics

Tiger Lillies The Albatross 2

Long grey beard and piercing eye

a wedding guest am I

The mariner he tells his tale

as time it passes by

Driven by the wildest storm

into those poles of ice

In those eyes you see

a world of greed, hatred and vice

An albatross it came to them

in that land of ice

And with that helmsman

he then saved their lives

The mariner the Anti-Christ

he shot that bird down

Though when a fair wind blew

praise it did abound

The evil of the mariner

it so now abounds

The murder of the saviour

in pride now he does drown

His twisted sense of pride

now murder he commits

Destruction of the saviour

now his throat he slits
