The Ivan Vassili

 

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

We have passed Cape of Good Hope

and the journey is still very long

The crew become scared and mope

realising that something is wrong

[Verse 2]

Months pass in an endless odyssey

crying, praying in a mindless despair

Some throw themselves into the sea

now the ship is the demon's lair.

[Chorus]

A sense of frost,

the panic spreads,

the Horla is here

with his invisible claws,

and play with us

like the cat with the mouse.

All our life are drained

by this monster unchained

[Verse 3]

The curse is so relentless,

a journey of madness and death

Nor the captain can prevent this

and he shot himself in the head

[Verse 4]

At each new destination 

the curse go on and on

and there is no salvation

by this evil without form.

[Chorus]

A sense of frost,

the panic spreads,

the Horla is here

with his invisible claws,

and play with us

like the cat with the mouse.

All our life are drained

by this monster unchained

Yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Nobody wants to come on board any more

Only sailor Nelson standing still

facing the demon with his force of will.

[Chorus]

A sense of frost,

the panic spreads,

the Horla is here

with his invisible claws,

and play with us

like the cat with the mouse.

All our life are drained

by this monster unchained

(Yeah, haha haha)

[Outro]

And at the end of his horror journey

the Ivan Vassili awaits in harbour

His curse will never be explained

and its hull is set on flame.

But we know that Horla cannot die

and hovers somewhere... 

in the darkness of our dreams...
