Rime of the Ancient Mariner Iron Maiden

[Verse 1]
Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell, and the Mariner tells his tale

[Verse 2]
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow, fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings

And the ship sails on, back to the north
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on

[Verse 3]
The Mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he's done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime

[Chorus]
Sailing on and on and north across the sea
Sailing on and on and north till all is calm
