She rides the High Seas
Driven by the Black Winds of Hell
She, mistress to thee
She holds your life in her spell
Sailors call her Satan's Ship
Unholy One so cold
They fear to feel the frozen flame
That lives within her hold
Tis the rise of the Black Witch
She comes with the night
With the moon
Rising for you out of the sea
She, demon queen
Spellbound you are, you cannot flee
Hear the insane laughter
As the crew hails you aboard
There's nothin' you can do but pray
Pray to die
Sailing away on a night neverending
Is there no penance for all of my sinning?
A nightmare?
Can't tell if it's all in my head
Satan release me
Sailing away on a night neverending
No absolution
Possessed, a demon's at home in my head
Satan release me
(I'm better off dead)
