See, onward she comes
Onward she nears out of the sun
See, she has no crew
She has no life, wait but here’s two
Death and she life in death, they throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now
Then, crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She, she, life in death
She lets him live, her chosen one
“One after one by the star dogged moon
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye
Four times 50 living men
And I heard nor sigh nor groan
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump
They dropped down one by one”
The curse it lives on in their eyes
The mariner, he wished he’d die
Along with the sea creatures
