Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Live In New Jersey 14/3/08) - Iron Maiden[00:00:00]

Written by：Steve Harris[00:00:03]

Hear the rime of the ancient mariner[00:00:30]

See his eye as he stops one of three[00:00:32]

Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests[00:00:35]

Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea[00:00:36]

And the music plays on as the bride passes by[00:00:43]

Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale[00:00:45]

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice[00:00:51]

To a place where nobody's been[00:00:53]

Through the snow fog flies on the albatross[00:00:55]

Hailed in God's name hoping good luck it brings[00:00:57]

And the ships sails on back to the north[00:01:04]

Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on[00:01:06]

The mariner kills the bird of good omen[00:01:37]

His shipmates cry against what he's done[00:01:42]

But when the fog clears they justify him[00:01:46]

And make themselves a part of the crime[00:01:50]

Sailing on and on and north across the sea[00:01:54]

Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm[00:02:02]

The albatross begins with its vengeance[00:02:11]

A terrible curse a thirst has begun[00:02:15]

His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner[00:02:19]

About his neck the dead bird is hung[00:02:24]

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea[00:02:27]

And the thirst goes on and on for them and me[00:02:35]

Day after day day after day[00:02:44]

We stuck nor breath nor motion[00:02:46]

As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean[00:02:48]

Water water everywhere and all the boards did shrink[00:02:52]

Water water everywhere nor any drop to drink[00:02:57]

There calls the mariner there comes a ship o'er the line[00:03:13]

But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide[00:03:20]

See onward she comes[00:03:26]

Onward she nears out of the sun[00:03:32]

See she has no crew[00:03:39]

She has no life wait but there's two[00:03:44]

Death and she life in death they throw their dice for the crew[00:03:51]

She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now[00:03:57]

Then crew one by one they drop down dead two hundred men[00:04:03]

She she life in death she let's him live her chosen one[00:04:16]

One after one by the star dogged moon[00:06:11]

Too quick for groan or sigh[00:06:15]

Each turned his face with a ghastly pang[00:06:18]

And cursed me with his eye[00:06:22]

Four times fifty living men[00:06:26]

And I heard nor sigh nor groan[00:06:29]

With heavy thump a lifeless lump[00:06:32]

They dropped down one by one[00:06:35]

The curse it lives on in their eyes[00:08:01]

The mariner he wished he'd die[00:08:06]

Along with the sea creatures[00:08:11]

But they lived on so did he[00:08:13]

And by the light of the moon[00:08:21]

He prays for their beauty not doom[00:08:25]

With heart he blesses them[00:08:31]

God's creatures all of them too[00:08:33]

Then the spell starts to break[00:08:41]

The albatross falls from his neck[00:08:45]

Sinks down like lead into the sea[00:08:50]

Then down in falls comes the rain[00:08:55]

Hear the groans of the long dead seamen[00:11:24]

See them stir and they start to rise[00:11:26]

Bodies lifted by good spirits[00:11:28]

None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes[00:11:30]

And revenge is still sought penance starts again[00:11:36]

Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on[00:11:38]

Now the curse is finally lifted[00:11:45]

And the mariner sights his home[00:11:47]

Spirits go from the long dead bodies[00:11:49]

Form their own light and the mariner's left alone[00:11:51]

And then a boat came sailing towards him[00:12:23]

It was a joy he could not believe[00:12:27]

The pilot's boat his son and the hermit[00:12:31]

Penance of life will fall onto him[00:12:35]

And the ship sinks like lead into the sea[00:12:39]

And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins[00:12:47]

The mariner's bound to tell of his story[00:12:56]

To tell this tale wherever he goes[00:13:00]

To teach God's word by his own example[00:13:04]

That we must love all things that God made[00:13:08]

And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man[00:13:12]

And the tale goes on and on and on and on[00:13:20]
