All Hands, Abandon Ship!

I heard the Captain say
words I am about to tell,
but he ONLY is to say those words!
He said all men hold fast
and run now to your rafts
All hands, abandon ship οon my command!
He said...
when the ship wrecks
jump at Sea lads
Swim or sink
for it's only a dream, only a dream!
All hands, all hands!!!
This is your captain!
Swim or sink
for it's only a dream, only a dream!
She is taking water fast
down in her rusty tanks
and she cannae take anymore
We did all that we had...
but If the things go South
There is not much for us left to do
So don't be bitter now,
don't look the world around
just swim and swim a little more
For those who do not float
are going down and drown
And no one wants that,
am I right or am I wrong?

Are we waiting for the tide
so that will take us home?
And I looked him in the eye
and said that I don't know
In the crest of a wave
remember we were born
And I saw you crying rust,
maybe it's just the shore
Come on tell me what you think?
Do you think that we should go
or should we stay onboard?
And I heard there's people there
speaking with their tongues
and saying awful words
And they think of us as dead
and they hate everyone
And a life without the salt,
is it a life at all?
And the sadness I have seen
and what is sadness said I will destroy
I don't want any of that inside my heart
you know that I don't want!
And the love, the love
is what I am truly looking for,
is she on the shore?
Do I have to cry the rust inside my heart?
You know that it is full
Hell you know that it is full!
Do you think that we should go?
Or should we stay onboard?
The day the Sea will smile
I will forget it all...

Ι've been hiding in my home
I lie to everyone that I am well
I don't wait for any call
I wait a ship to come
and take me far away
What is left over this heart
I will put it in a box
and I will run away
And I will leave you as you want
Will you be happy then
the day when I’'ll go?
I will be there by myself
To no one I will tell
goodbye, so long
I will play the Shamisen
and I will be so sad
for all I've done
We may never speak again
I hope you're doing well
but you must know...
I am sorry for the dread
I hope you feel relief
the day when I’'’ll go!
And I read the text you sent,
you want me to be well,
it really means a lot!
I don't know where you have learnt
To love me out of guilt,
but this is not enough
All my records on your stand,
they don't mean anything
if we don't talk
And when you'll wish to speak again
you'll come down by my grave one day
and cry all you want
I will miss you, yes I will
I hope you won't regret
the path you chose
I will play the Shamisen
I hope you won't forget my face
I really hope you won't
Please don't!?

Luna Esplende

In the beginning of a storm,
between the Sea of all my wretched thoughts,
without the compass of a rose
I couldn't keep of any steady course
She came to me and held me close
She said to me you should be brave and strong
If you can find it in your heart
you must not think the way you do tonight
And I think all the people I adore
will they be there when I return?
Do they remember me at all?
Whatever happens to our home?
For all the people that I lost
For all the people I have failed the most
If they can find it in their hearts
forgive me for all the pain I caused, my mates!
And people they don't understand
They could stand me for the things I am
It doesn't matter in the end
You have to keep humane for what is worth?!
And you did all the best you could have done
La luna esplende and your ship goes on
And people they don't understand
Whatever happens to the heart?
And those who sworn to hold us close
Will they still love us or betray the most
It doesn't matter what they do
You have to love, you have to stay true
La luna esplende and your ship goes on
Whatever happens to our heart,
to the things that we love?

My mother was the Sea
She wished a healthy kid
To laugh, to speak, to sing
but instead she had me
and I won't say a thing!
And all I want is never say a word
Give me a man to rip apart
Give me a ship to make it deaf
Mondo Necro!
I'm walking all alone
The ocean I own
I'm coming for your boat
and where will you go?
For all I want
is that you don't say word
Give me your soul to rip apart
Give me your ship to make it deaf
Mondo Necro!
And all I want is that you don't say a word,
to live in oceans all alone
Become a beast and not a man!
Mondo Necro!
Please stop it that's enough
The songs you made so far
I take defeat from no man
Don't you know who I am?
I am the Seas most hated of the young
I make all things mute where I pass
I like all things as if they're dead
Mondo Necro!
I am the Seas most hated of the young
I never speak, I never said a word
Don't even try you puny man!
Mondo Necro Mondo, Mondo Necro!

La Nave Fantasma

I am the boat
and I am the hope
I appear in the fog
just to claim the right one
And you're welcome onboard
How I missed you my love!
In such wondrous sails
we together embark!
In this weary hull
you shall rest and bewarmed
Smile once again
and all horrors begone!
The time will come,
you and me will depart
far away from this hideous place
they call shore!
Call out my name...
"La Nave Fantasma"

All The King's Horses

When the lady in white
forbade me to smile
was a long time ago
When she kissed me goodnight
it was warm in her thighs
and she said please don't talk
But you know...
Nobody will remember if we were good or...
Nobody will remember if we were good or wrong
Ow what have we done?
Nobody will know
Not even us...
If a Sea is so fierce,
spreads havoc and tears
but won't do me no harm
If a king will appear
with his horses and spears
He won't put me together,I know
He won't!
yet I know...
Nobody will remember if we were good or...
Nobody will remember if we were good or wrong
Ow what have we done?
Nobody will know
Not even us...
Little king,
How kind of you to sing?
How wise of you to bring
your horses three to me?
I'm sailing on a ship
Shes travelling with grief
She'll tell you all about it
without the words me
How noble such a gift?
To bear it just for me
Your shining horses three are running
horses they were three
How beautiful they be
and wild at Sea
But I don't think that they can fix me
I'm sorry little king!

Son Of Adam

Do you see this dead ahead?
Do you ever sit and stare?
Let me see the aquatic plain
and not your face!
I am making you a grave
Marked a grave there in the deep
Run away you ugly thing
and sit and drown in the abyss
Run away you Nazarene!
Son of Adam little man
with the heart made out of filth
came to Sea to do his thing
but death waits the waterline
Come I am making you a grave
Sit by me and forge a nail
See what fun it is to sing
and drown in the abyss
Oh Nazarene, oh Nazarene!
Sink and drown in the abyss
Never to be seen again!
Our great and vast regime
it extends, and it extends
Holy is the big frontier,
home to weird and home to queer
We are freaks and we don't live
in this wolrd that you have built
Fuck your gods, your gold and filth
and let us stare in the abyss
Let us be free once again!

There is this Pit
And it wants all my years
And it's hunger it's fierce
It needs my tears,
all my humanly years
just to see how it feels
And keeps asking more
and always for more
I'm growing so old
My hair getting grey
I can't take no more
My feet feeling soar
My feet walk no shore
I sit all alone
Ow, what I've become
Is subject to none
I sit in the dark
I think about her
I think about us
Whatever I done
Was never enough
I tried, and I tried but...
There is this Pit
and I gave it my years
Thrown them down in the deep
There is this Pit
What a horrible thing?
Sucks the life out of me
And though it's not clear
the concept beneath
this bottomless Pit
I come every year
And I feed and I feed
The girl wants to quit,
the boy never sleeps
Some millions miles
away at the Sea
The girl wants someone
A shoulder to hold,
somebody to love
who is more flesh n' bones
and not like some ghost
who sits on his watch
for the dead travel fast
and I'm left all alone
I'm left all alone
A lifespan I owned
lies down in a hole
And where I will go?
But don't say that we don't try
Don't say that we don't cry
Don't say that we are alive
Don't say that we are alike
Don't say that you are mine
Don't say that you don't mind
Don't say that you will find
The courage to stay behind
Don't say that we are the same
Don't say you understand
Don't say that we are the same
Don't say you will wait
Don't say it!
For you'll never be
a being of the Sea!

Once upon a time there was a young boy
and he had a wretched heart
It's been long since he laughed
that sweet boy
He had a secret place in his heart
that gave it to them
On the bloody day they left,
sweet boy wept
And he drunk all the rum
too bad his heart
was not made of gold
Solid gold, that sweet boy!
People come and go,
don't you know, let'em go
You won't find them in your rum,
in your troubles and cigars
and sometimes this has to stop
but it won't quite alright, my sweet boy
And he will sit there in the dark
and he won't talk
and he will think people
as vampires eating you up!
C'mon smile my pretty boy
No one wants a heart of stone,
No one!
My sweet boy!

Seven times I will ask
seek a lover or a friend?
Doesn't matter what you ask
She will feast in all of them
There they go under the wave
I wonder when will be my turn
Where the Ripper goes and lurks
Swallows wives, no happy end!
Seven times I have wept
and a witness I have been
I have stood and see them drown
And I miss’em now you know...
“Should I send another rope?”
I will sit and ask myself
Do they ever think of me
because I do in the Sea
Seven times they have said
I will wait your return
but they never last that long
She's gone...
