The Ghost of Van Der Decken
Lyrics
Have you ever heard the tales of a phantom…
A phantom ship they call a portent of doom
A ghostly vessel all aglow in the darkness
Drifting slowly by the light of the moon?
She's fated to wander the ocean
She's destined to glide 'cross the sea
People thought it was the worst of the omens
To see her moving at full sails with no gale
They assumed she was in league with the devil
They believed it was a true ancient tale
She's fated to wander the ocean
She's destined to glide 'cross the sea
Glowin' with dim ghostly light
She drifts in the night
Glowin' with dim ghostly light
Still drifts in the night
Still she glides across the sea – under the never-ending curse
Still she haunts the merchant ships – to sink them down with no remorse
She's believed to be a sign of misfortune
Those who face her never see land again
No one knows is there the end of the story
Of her voyage never reaching the end
She's fated to wander the ocean
She's destined to glide 'cross the sea
Glowin' with dim ghostly light
She drifts in the night
Glowin' with dim ghostly light
Still drifts in the nightmore
