Maritime Murder

I haunt the ship they're sailing on
I'm avoice and a shadow in the rigging
See me twisting down along the mainmast
Up the mizzenmast each night
Taunting the men who killed me
None but they see me
And they fear me more than when I lived
I am their shame
Their guilt
Their fear
And I appear as whispers in their ears
I will not allow them to forget that I was

Thrown over the bow and dragged under the hul
Torn to ribbons along the barnacles
Bloody foam
Sinking skull
Lifeless brain

I haunt the hulk they're stranded on
I am a ghost on a ghost ship lost at sea eternally
Eternally I dwell between heaven and hell
Eternally
Eternally

Will no one free me?

Thrown over the bow and dragged under the hull
Torn to ribbons along the barnacles
Bloody foam
Sinking skull

I won't rest in peace
