The Albatross 1 Lyrics

See him fly across the sky

saving souls no reason why
He in mercy goes in peace

each one's soul to release

Which of them wants to be saved

takes them from a certain grave

Each of them who does repent

up to Heaven will be sent

But while evil's still alive

all our saviours they will die
For in jealousy they live

in the righteous can't forgive

So the mariner his bow takes

and his saviour does break

He who has him saved

now feels like a slave
So though he was sure to drown

shoots in malice shoots him down

So the saviour from the sky

for his vanity he cries

So for vanity he dies

shot down from the sky

The albatross he dies

the mariner's foolish pride
