The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
[00:18.17] Hear the rime of
[00:18.92] The ancient mariner
[00:20.42] See his eye as
[00:21.31] He stops one of three
[00:22.56] Mesmerises one of
[00:23.56] The wedding guests
[00:24.81] Stay here and listen to
[00:25.56] The nightmares of the sea
[00:27.20] ...
[00:30.70] And the music plays on,
[00:31.70] As the bride passes by
[00:32.95] Caught by his spell
[00:33.95] And the mariner tells
[00:34.70] His tale
[00:36.20] ...
[00:39.70] Driven south to
[00:40.20] The land of the snow and ice
[00:41.70] To a place
[00:42.45] Where nobody's been
[00:43.95] Through the snow fog
[00:44.70] Flies on the albatross
[00:45.70] Hailed in God's name,
[00:46.45] Hoping good luck it brings
[00:48.20] ...
[00:52.20] And the ship sails on,
[00:52.95] Back to the north
[00:53.95] Through the fog and ice
[00:54.95] And the albatross follows on
[00:56.45] ...
[01:25.70] The mariner kills
[01:27.95] The bird of good omen
[01:30.45] His shipmates cry
[01:31.95] Against what he's done
[01:34.70] But when the fog clears,
[01:36.45] They justify him
[01:39.20] And make themselves
[01:40.70] A part of the crime
[01:42.33] Sailing on and on and
[01:44.73] North across the sea
[01:50.98] Sailing on and on and
[01:53.23] North 'til all is calm
[01:57.48] ...
[02:00.62] The albatross
[02:02.12] Begins with its vengeance
[02:04.62] A terrible curse,
[02:06.12] A thirst has begun
[02:08.87] His shipmates blame
[02:10.62] Bad luck on the mariner
[02:13.12] About his neck,
[02:14.87] The dead bird is hung
[02:16.62] And the curse goes on and on
[02:20.01] And on at sea
[02:25.26] And the curse goes on and on
[02:28.15] For them and me
[02:29.65] ...
[02:34.15] "Day after day,
[02:35.15] Day after day
[02:36.29] We stuck nor breath
[02:37.29] Nor motion
[02:38.29] As idle as a painted ship
[02:40.29] Upon a painted ocean
[02:42.79] Water, water everywhere
[02:44.79] And all the boards did shrink
[02:47.04] Water, water everywhere
[02:49.04] Nor any drop to drink"
[02:51.18] ...
[03:04.18] "There," calls the mariner,
[03:05.07] "There comes a ship over the line
[03:09.82] But how can she sail with
[03:10.57] No wind in her sails
[03:12.07] And no tide?"
[03:13.82] ...
[03:15.32] See...
[03:17.57] Onward she comes
[03:20.57] Onward she nears,
[03:23.57] Out of the sun
[03:27.32] See,
[03:29.57] She has no crew
[03:32.57] She has no life,
[03:35.57] Wait but there's two
[03:37.82] ...
[03:39.57] Death
[03:39.71] And she life in death
[03:40.96] They throw their dice
[03:41.72] For the crew
[03:45.21] She wins the mariner
[03:46.46] And he belongs to her now
[03:50.96] Then...
[03:53.21] Crew one by one
[03:56.21] They drop down dead,
[03:59.21] Two hundred men
[04:02.97] She...
[04:05.21] She, life in death
[04:07.96] She lets him live,
[04:11.21] Her chosen one
[04:14.96] ...
[05:55.47] "One after one
[05:56.97] By the star dogged moon
[05:58.97] Too quick for groan or sigh
[06:02.22] Each turned his face
[06:04.22] With a ghastly pang
[06:05.97] And cursed me with his eye
[06:09.97] Four times
[06:10.97] Fifty living men
[06:13.10] (And I heard
[06:13.25] Nor sigh nor groan)
[06:16.25] With heavy thump,
[06:17.50] A lifeless lump
[06:19.75] They dropped down
[06:21.50] One by one."
[06:24.25] ...
[07:46.22] The curse it lives on
[07:47.72] In their eyes
[07:50.72] The mariner he
[07:52.61] Wished he'd die
[07:55.86] Along with the sea creatures
[07:58.36] But they lived on,
[08:00.11] So did he
[08:01.86] ...
[08:05.61] And by the light
[08:07.61] Of the moon
[08:10.86] He prays for their
[08:11.86] Beauty not doom
[08:15.86] With heart he
[08:17.11] Blesses them
[08:18.11] God's creatures
[08:19.36] All of them too
[08:21.61] ...
[08:25.61] Then
[08:26.61] The spell starts
[08:27.86] To break
[08:30.36] The albatross
[08:31.61] Falls from his neck
[08:35.11] Sinks down
[08:36.61] Like lead
[08:38.11] Into the sea
[08:40.36] Then down in falls
[08:42.36] Comes the rain
[08:45.61] ...
[11:16.84] Hear the groans
[11:17.24] Of the long dead seamen
[11:18.49] See them stir
[11:19.24] And they start to rise
[11:20.74] Bodies lifted
[11:21.49] By good spirits
[11:22.49] None of them speak
[11:23.24] And they're lifeless
[11:24.24] In their eyes
[11:25.74] ...
[11:28.49] And revenge is still sought,
[11:29.99] Penance starts again
[11:30.99] Cast into a trance
[11:31.99] And the nightmare carries on
[11:34.49] ...
[11:37.74] Now the curse
[11:38.49] Is finally lifted
[11:40.00] And the mariner
[11:40.74] Sights his home
[11:42.24] Spirits go from
[11:42.99] The long dead bodies
[11:43.99] Form their own light
[11:44.99] And the mariner's
[11:45.75] Left alone
[11:47.24] ...
[12:16.49] And then a boat
[12:17.99] Came sailing
[12:18.99] Towards him
[12:20.74] It was a joy
[12:22.24] He could not believe
[12:24.99] The pilot's boat,
[12:26.49] His son and the hermit
[12:29.24] Penance of life
[12:30.74] Will fall onto him
[12:32.49] ...
[12:32.99] And the ship sinks
[12:34.99] Like lead into
[12:36.74] The sea
[12:41.49] And the hermit shrieves
[12:43.49] The mariner of his sins
[12:47.24] ...
[12:50.64] The mariner's bound
[12:52.14] To tell of his story
[12:54.64] To tell this tale
[12:56.39] Wherever he goes
[12:59.14] To teach God's word
[13:00.89] By his own example
[13:03.14] That we must love all
[13:04.89] Things that God made
[13:05.89] ...
[13:06.89] And the wedding guest's
[13:08.89] A sad and wiser man
[13:15.54] And the tale
[13:16.19] Goes on and on and on
[13:20.69] ...
