[ti:Rime of The Ancient Mariner] [ar:Iron Maiden] [00:02.750]Iron Maiden [00:03.440]Rime Of The Ancient Mariner [00:17.870]Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner [00:19.370]See his eye as he stops one of three [00:22.100]Mesmerises one of the wedding guests [00:23.480]Stay here and listen the nightmares of the Sea. [00:26.480]And the music plays on,as the bride passes by [00:31.880]Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale. [00:34.250]Driven south to the land of the snow and ice [00:40.700]To a place where nobody"s been [00:42.260]Through the snow fog flies on the albatross [00:45.50]Hailed in God"s name,hoping good luck it brings. [00:51.360]And the ship sails on,back to the North [00:53.530]Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on [00:56.100]The mariner kills the bird of good omen [01:28.220]His shipmates cry against what he"s done [01:32.880]But when the fog clears,they justify him [01:38.300]And make themselves a part of the crime. [01:41.910]Sailing on and on and North across the sea [01:46.150]Sailing on and on and North "til all is calm [01:55.750]The albatross begins with its vengeance [02:02.20]A terrible curse a thirst has begun [02:06.540]His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner [02:12.190]About his neck,the dead bird is hung. [02:15.990]And the curse goes on and on at sea [02:24.610]And the curse goes on and on for them and me. [02:29.240]"Day after day,day after day, [02:34.970]we stuck nor breath nor motion [02:36.860]As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean [02:40.310]Water,water everywhere and all the boards did shrink [02:44.970]Water,water everywhere nor any drop to drink." [02:49.309]There,calls the Mariner, [03:04.19]there comes a ship over the line [03:05.679]But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. [03:12.359]See...onward she comes [03:17.649]Onward she nears,out of the sun [03:25.479]See...she has no crew [03:31.629]She has no life,wait but there"s two. [03:36.219]Death and she Life in Death. [03:40.389]they throw their dice for the crew [03:42.149]She wins the Mariner and he belong to her now. [03:50.489]Then...crew one by one [03:54.949]They drop down dead,two hundred men [04:01.699]She...She Life in Death. [04:06.989]She lets him live,her chosen one. [05:54.779]"One after one by the star dogged moon, [05:57.89]too quick for groan or sigh [06:01.209]each turned his face with a ghastly pang, [06:05.469]and cursed me with his eye [06:09.39]four times fifty living men [06:12.249]（and I heard nor sigh nor groan）, [06:15.389]with heavy thump,a lifeless lump, [06:18.989]they dropped down one by one." [07:45.289]The curse it lives on in their eyes [07:47.69]The Mariner he wished he"d die [07:55.179]Along with the sea creatures [07:57.519]But they lived on,so did he. [08:05.179]And by the light of the moon [08:09.909]He prays for their beauty not doom [08:12.279]With heart he blesses them [08:17.289]God"s creatures all of them too. [08:24.979]Then the spell starts to break [08:27.39]The albatross falls from his neck [08:32.239]Sinks down like lead into the Sea [08:39.599]Then down in falls comes the rain. [11:16.337]Hear the groans of the long dead seamen [11:18.77]See them stir and they start to rise [11:20.247]Bodies lifted by good spirits [11:21.867]None of them speak and they"re lifeless in their eyes. [11:28.117]And revenge is still sought,penance starts again [11:29.777]Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. [11:37.237]Now the curse is finally lifted [11:38.457]And the Mariner sights his home [11:41.537]Spirits go from the long dead bodies [11:43.667]Form their light and the Mariner"s left alone. [12:15.747]And then a boat came sailing towards him [12:18.997]It was a joy he could not believe [12:21.897]The Pilot"s boat,his son and the hermit. [12:27.997]Penance of life will fall onto Him. [12:30.557]And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea [12:40.527]And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins. [12:49.857]The Mariner"s bound to tell of his story [12:52.397]To tell his tale wherever he goes [12:58.687]To teach God"s word by his own example [13:01.977]That we must love all things that God made. [13:05.977]And the wedding guest"s a sad and wiser man [13:14.457]And the tale goes on and on and on...and on
