lyrics

The Frozen Tombs

North Atlantic gale - aeronautical
Compass spinning to counterclockwise

Lost among the waves - dark directionless
Moon and stars, unseen drifting circles

Cut the engines dead - crew a mutinous
Faceless wave of dread huddled circle

Evil eye of a - motion lifting hand
Cast the shifting sands leagues away

Chance of finding land - slimmer by the still
Godless will of the ocean current

Waves are pounding - our hull from every side
Left no place to hide, soon we drown

Most got through to survive the hungry storm
Rudder snapped and our engines dead

Cast adrift we float aimless to the north
Entering the cold iceberg straight

More and more we saw heading to our hull
Like a magnet attracting steel

Now surrounded and inching closer
the ‘bergs alive with activity

Creatures, large and strong, nine or 10 feet tall
forming circles and worshipping

Ancient God on the ocean floor
that delivered us to their icy sea

As the iceberg closed we could see inside
The translucent ice held a deadly prize
Do my eyes deceive what I thought to be?
Yet it can’t be true if their mad milieu
Really hid the souls of our missing crew
Should the many risk death to save the few?


And I stared into as an iceberg grew
From its hidden core to a close up view
First, I saw the shape of my 1st mates face
Then his eyes appeared locked in distant fear
I began to think of his final fate
He began to blank it was not too late

With a wide eye stare and a voiceless cry
Get me out of here I began to try
But the chunk of ice he was captured in
Was too thick to best as it drifted west
Then replaced by 10 each bore eyes within
That would caterwaul for my rescue call

I passed out cold from those frozen eyes and awoke in days far from frozen skies
As I told my tale none believed my words but they did not see or heard what I heard
Now my nightly dreams are a haunted place filled with iceberg trapped hollow human face
As I woke and sweat many nights it took ‘till my mind had clicked and I understood
To appease their God from the ages old nameless creatures float trapping human souls
And I know they live in their frozen tombs where eternity cannot come too soon...
