Ghostship (Part Ii)

Ghostship... 
Trailing souls in its' wake 
Strange luminescence, 
more souls to take 

The flapping of torn sails 
Masts, bleached grey 
Ghostly trails, 
lighting the way 

Fourteen score years, 
circumnavigated seas 
Ghostship... 
Looking for me... 
Sea smoke... 
Sea mist... 
Tattered sails 
Mournful wails 

In the halflight, 
Masts appear through the sea mist 
Ghostship... 
A haunting 
For the night 

Vanishing into the gloom 
Ghostship... 
Looking for a soul 
Strange luminescence 
Deathly grip 
Deathly cold 

Ghostship... 
Calling me 
Midnightsea 
Strange glow, 
from the decks below 

Blackened sides, 
burnt too 
You cannot escape 
Ghostship... 
Looking for me... 
Looking for you...
