The Wreck Of The Hesperus lyrics

We ll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea
Make haste to your funeral, cries the Valkyrie
We ll hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy sea
Here lies a coffin, cries the cemetery, it calls to me
And all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
No thoughts explained, no moments gained, all hope forever lost
One moment s space, one moment s final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire

We ll hoist a hand, becalmed upon a troubled sea
I fear a mighty wave is threatening me
We ll hoist a hand, or drown amidst this stormy sea
Come follow after, cry the humble, You will surely see ...
But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
No moments gained, no thoughts explained, all hope forever lost
One moment s space, one moment s final fall from grace
Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
