The Flying Dutchman Lyrics

A mammoth of a storm appeared

The sailors saw what they feared

The pale faced moustached first mate

Warned the captain it would seal their fate

Arguing back and forth the captain had to pull rank

Any of the crew who disagreed would walk the plank

No storm could hold him in 1678

The captain didn't care he would sail through hell's gate

Now together they haunt the seven seas

Condemned for eternity to appease

A vow taken against the wishes of his crew

The bane of their consequences no soul can undo

The captain snarled to his crew to raise the sails:

De kaap vaar ik om, al moet ik varen tot de dag des oordeels

The crew's pleas he so ignored

The storm got hold, all thrown overboard

Davy Jones' Locker they fell toward

Resulted in a curse, as their reward

Until judgement day their ghostly shells will remain

For centuries caught in between two domains

The Flying Dutchman haunts the seven seas

Condemned for eternity to appease

A vow taken against the wishes of his crew

The bane of their consequences no soul can undo

Through the mist looking on from the deck

The first mate cried out for the captain to double check

Empty cities, no ships were to be seen

Slowly realising, judgement day has been

All alone after thousands of years

They missed the rapture confirming their fears

The Flying Dutchman now alone on the Earth

The curse wasn't lifted, they got no rebirth

How could they have missed, the last day, it's unclear

Judgement day has passed but, they are still here
