[ti:rime of the ancient mariner] |
| [00:02.47][00:26.42][00:35.13][00:47.84][00:55.44][01:54.19][02:28.74][02:49.21][03:10.82][04:12.27][05:47.96][08:17.10][10:04.66][11:19.75][11:26.94][11:40.43][12:38.84] |
|
| [00:17.21] |
Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner |
| [00:19.87] |
See his eye as he stops one of three |
| [00:22.23] |
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests |
| [00:23.98] |
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea |
| [00:30.55] |
And the music plays on, as the bride passes by |
| [00:32.21] |
Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale |
| [00:38.68] |
Driven south to the land of snow and ice |
| [00:40.44] |
To a place where nobody’s been |
| [00:43.38] |
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross |
| [00:45.03] |
Hailed in God’s name hoping good luck it brings |
| [00:51.49] |
And the ship sails on, back to the north |
| [00:53.49] |
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on |
| [01:24.87] |
The mariner kills the bird of good omen |
| [01:29.45] |
His shipmates cry against what he’s done |
| [01:33.34] |
But when the fog clears, they justify him |
| [01:37.88] |
And make themselves a part of the crime |
| [01:41.15] |
Sailing on and on and North across the sea |
| [01:49.62] |
Sailing on and on and North `til all is calm |
| [01:59.20] |
The albatross begins with its vengeance |
| [02:03.19] |
A terrible curse a thirst has begun |
| [02:07.56] |
His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner |
| [02:11.54] |
About his neck, the dead bird is hung |
| [02:15.09] |
And the curse goes on and on and on at sea |
| [02:23.57] |
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me |
| [02:32.55] |
“Day after day, day after day we stuck nor breath nor motion |
| [02:36.92] |
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean |
| [02:40.71] |
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink |
| [02:45.17] |
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.” |
| [03:02.12] |
There, calls the Mariner there comes a ship over the line |
| [03:07.64] |
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide |
| [03:13.32] |
See .....onward she comes |
| [03:18.24] |
Onward she nears, out of the sun |
| [03:25.14] |
See.... She has no crew |
| [03:30.39] |
She has no life, wait but there’s two |
| [03:37.05] |
Death and she life in Death |
| [03:38.32] |
they throw their dice for the crew |
| [03:42.85] |
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now |
| [03:48.61] |
Then... crew one by one |
| [03:53.45] |
They drop down dead, two hundred men |
| [04:00.28] |
She...She, Life in Death |
| [04:05.68] |
She lets him live, her chosen one |
| [04:37.18][06:19.69] |
MUSIC |
| [05:52.40] |
“One after one by the star dogged moon |
| [05:55.74] |
too quick for groan or sigh |
| [05:58.87] |
each turned his face with a ghastly pang |
| [06:02.81] |
and cursed me with his eye |
| [06:06.47] |
four times fifty living men |
| [06:09.46] |
and I heard nor sigh nor groan |
| [06:12.42] |
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump |
| [06:16.37] |
they dropped down one by one" |
| [07:41.81] |
The curse it lives on in their eyes |
| [07:46.25] |
The Mariner he wished he’d die |
| [07:51.36] |
Along with the sea creatures |
| [07:54.66] |
But they lived on, so did he |
| [08:01.66] |
And by the light of the moon |
| [08:06.19] |
He prays for their beauty not doom |
| [08:10.89] |
With heart he blesses them |
| [08:12.96] |
God’s creatures all of them too |
| [08:21.35] |
Then the spell starts to break |
| [08:25.95] |
The albatross falls from his neck |
| [08:30.68] |
Sinks down like lead into the sea |
| [08:35.48] |
Then down in falls comes the rain |
| [08:38.48] |
SOLO |
| [11:10.68] |
Hear the groans of the long dead seamen |
| [11:12.11] |
See them stir and they start to rise |
| [11:14.83] |
Bodies lifted by good spirits |
| [11:16.72] |
None of them speak and they’re lifeless in their eyes |
| [11:22.98] |
And revenge is still sought, penance starts again |
| [11:24.87] |
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on |
| [11:31.40] |
Now the curse is finally lifted |
| [11:33.74] |
And the Mariner sights his home |
| [11:35.88] |
Spirits go from the long dead bodies |
| [11:37.99] |
Form their own light and the Mariner’s left alone |
| [12:09.55] |
And then a boat came sailing towards him |
| [12:14.06] |
It was a joy he could not believe |
| [12:18.38] |
The pilots boat, his son and the hermit |
| [12:22.52] |
Penance of life will fall onto Him |
| [12:25.99] |
And the ship sinks like lead into the sea |
| [12:34.45] |
And the hermit shrieves the Mariner of his sins |
| [12:43.32] |
The Mariner’s bound to tell of his story |
| [12:47.60] |
To tell his tale wherever he goes |
| [12:52.17] |
To teach God’s word by his own example |
| [12:56.19] |
That we must love all things that God made |
| [12:59.53] |
And the wedding guest’s a sad and wiser man |
| [13:08.22] |
And the tale goes on and on and on |
