Arrival Of The DemeterAt the mouth of the EskA sudden storm approaches Bringing the stench of death And ancient bloodlust. The evening sun Sets behind the moorland. Bringing the arrival Of the schooner, Demeter. She sails Aboard her, Death She sails Never again The calm was shattered Within an instant, the stillness broke The waves rose in fury As banks of sea-fog woke. In the hour of the high tide She came between the two piers And crashed upon the East cliff Death upon the helm. At the front of the ship A corpse tied to the wheel Bound by his own hands A crucifix concealed From below the deck A huge black dog jumped onto the shore Past the abbey ruins For the sanctuary of the moors She sails Aboard her, Death She sails Never again |
