The Skull

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Carried by restless winds Under the crimson cloud I sailed the purple waves Aboard my comely ship The ship was adorned with banners With flags dedicated for me A spirit summoned to its sails Emblems painted with blood [Pre-Chorus 1] The evening came, the night fell The moon rose, circled the island And all around me The starry skies glittered in the water [Chorus] I asked for His holy words Besought His sage advice I bowed to the skull of the bear I prayed for the spirit of God I asked for His holy words And my heart began to sing To the beat of the heavenly drum And I prayed for the spirit of God [Guitar Solo] [Keyboard Solo] [Verse 2] The ship it plotted my course Evaded the rocks and shoals It brought me to an island On the shore of a sacred place I climbed the side of the mountain Made my way up, up the craggy slope And on the top on a field of jagged rocks I met a hallowed God [Pre-Chorus 2] The wind it sang, the ship it rocked White crested waves, they knew my course As I fell to restless sleep I wandered to a time that's yet to come [Chorus] I asked for His holy words Besought His sage advice I bowed to the skull of the bear I prayed for the spirit of God I asked for His holy words And my heart began to sing To the beat of the heavenly drum And I prayed for the spirit of God [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I met a hallowed God I met a hallowed God I met a hallowed God I met a hallowed God
