Thornbridge - The Helmsman lyrics

Artist: Thornbridge

album: Theatrical Masterpiece


Can you hear wailing voices from heaven's end
Can you hear the old helmsman cry
I will tell you a story of punishment
Execution under a bloodred sky
So many years have passed
Since that horrid day
Chained to his ship
It's floating aimlessly away
He was faithful, he was brave
Conquered the highest waves
Always hunting enemies
With one foot in the grave
His life was like an hourglass
Always near the end
But everything has turned around
At the last grain of sand
He was born in the darkness of the storm
Died in chains as a figurehead
Forlorn in the night
An eternal ride
Night of the helmsman
You can feel his breath behind
Storm-ridden sea is telling
'Bout his godless fight
He is crying out for vengeance
Stay ashore to save your life
He's sailing on tonight
One day he became a traitor
To protect his crew
Honourable act for all the dangers
They sailed through
So he was chained to the bow
Left to fate and storm
Since then you can hear his scream
When the night returns
