Richard van Luttikhuizen - I, In The Year 18 lyrics

So I set up my guns in position And make way to fire through the worst of conditions After many a months in the year 18, I set my sails in a sudden rage I was caught in the glaze of the moon But where did it all lead to? And when is the time that it breaks through? Now bear with me the sudden weight of a body And to be pulled down by gravity I'm not free, as white waves are foaming all around me Inevitability is pretty clear But still after so many years it's something That I don't completely understand Horror upon horror the ship is quivering, and oh my God it's going down! And after all that was said and done, I was gone in a haze It felt just like I was floating out of a maze I wish i could tell you all about the glory The beauty and the marvel unseen Oh deepest, deepest mysteries of all Inevitability is pretty clear But still after so many years it's something That I don't completely understand A cut down in the open flood and the ark was on its way A cut down in the open flood and all that I could say Believe me and see it! Closed in a bottle, I will cast the MS to be found within the sea
