lyrics

As Quelch nears their broken ship, he makes out the face of Jesiah King waving from the bow. Quelch is startled as King, transparent, reappears next to him in his boat below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Father (ghost):
I am just the breath of life after death.
Your friend you knew as King, is sleeping.
I am just the soul that speaks, do not be afraid to follow me.

Look here upon the ship, the shades of men,
In clouds and in wisps, weeping.
They toil without rest, they sail unblessed - on the Ocean of the Dead.

Listen to the mournful wails of spirits,
Who can't fall asleep.

Never day. Never night. Always a strange twilight.
Angels keep far from reach. They cannot hear them sing.

Beneath the wheel's foot where
Toulouse always stood,
Is hidden the bounty upon our heads.
Use the key while you breathe, and share evenly
The gold with my family.

Listen to the mournful wail of spirits,
Who can't fall asleep........
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the shade of Jesiah King’s bidding, Quelch retrieves and unlocks the chest. Suddenly, a figure appears….

Ghost Crew:
Who – is – this?
Who – is – this?

Quelch:
A spirit of the flesh, Toulouse returned from the dead.
His face transfigured by sin,
Translucent his skin - his hair wild and white,
My God, I thought you had died.

Michelle is a musician and artist based in Chicago. Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross’s songs tend to have a darker, moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention. ... more
