Evil Spirit
Sailing with Shadows: Unraveling the Tale of an Evil Spirit
Lyrics
A wrinkled gnome sat on the yard
A small, old creature sat in the yard
On this sailing vessel he was the guard
He served as the guard on a sailing vessel
He may brought safety, or he may brought dread
It's uncertain whether he brought safety or fear
If he was treated well, or if he was treated bad
Dependent on how he was treated—whether well or poorly
Guardian, evil spirit
Describing the creature as both a guardian and an evil spirit
Tormentor, evil spirit
Emphasizing his role as a tormentor and an evil force
He watched the blade and his anger grew
He observed a blade, and his anger intensified
'Cause for his own wealth he skinned hard their crew
Expressing displeasure because the crew was mistreated for his gain
Money and fame were his conviction
His strong belief in accumulating money and fame
Violence and force were his religion
Violence and force constituted his religious convictions
Guardian, evil spirit
Reiterating the dual nature of the creature as a guardian and an evil spirit
Tormentor, evil spirit
Reaffirming his role as both a tormentor and an evil force
The reef appeared too fast for him
A reef appeared suddenly, posing a danger
He tried to duck but wind refreshed
He attempted to evade, but the wind intensified
The yard came down, the gnome was gone
The creature vanished as the yard collapsed
The blade was dead, justice had won
The blade was defeated, symbolizing justice prevailing
Guardian, evil spirit
Repeating the description of the creature as both a guardian and an evil spirit
Tormentor, evil spirit
Reiterating his role as a tormentor and an evil force
