Black Ocean Lantern

Hey! The wind is ripping the sails to shreds, babe!
The water's blacker than your eyes that night.
I'm left out here, on the very edge of the earth,
Where ships go down, and there's no one in sight.
Oh yeah, I see a flame in the dark!


It's burning!
Burning in the gloom!
A freezing fire for the souls of doom!

Припев
Lantern of the black ocean!
Calling me where there's no way back.
Lantern of the black ocean!
Your gaze is my own hell, my sweet hell in black!
Oh-oh-oh, yeah!


The compass is smashed to pieces. Just salt on my lips.
You promised a quiet port, but gave me storms and sinking ships.
Down in the deep, the shadows dance a wild blues,
I reach for the fire, got nothing to lose...
This beacon is driving me insane, mama!

Припев
Lantern of the black ocean!
Calling me where there's no way back.
Lantern of the black ocean!
Your gaze is my own hell, my sweet hell in black!


The whirlpool's spinning, pulling down below!
Oh baby, we're never gonna be saved, no, no!
You lit up this blaze on a rock made of bone,
Just to make me another dead guest of your own!
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!



It's burning!
Burning in the gloom!
A freezing fire for the souls of doom!

Припев
Lantern of the black ocean!
Calling me where there's no way back.
Lantern of the black ocean!
Your gaze is my own hell, my sweet hell in black!


Fade out... Fade out, you cursed flame...
Babe, your ocean is way too black...
Way too black for me.
Oh-oh-oh-ooh-yeah...
