We do sink under water in neutral zone, Thus escape whole year from weather storming. But if we are catched - locators howls About the trouble woes. Save Our Souls - please! We’re crazy with heavy breath. Save Our Souls - please! And hasten all to us! Oh, hear us on earth-land! Our call goes out - from band. And horror carves the soul’s thread At once... And torn our vessels, but upward - don’t go! Because to the right, to the left of the shipboard And straightly against is preventing to go The Death, so terribly horned. Save Our Souls - please! We’re crazy with heavy breath. Save Our Souls - please! And hasten all to us! Oh, hear us on earth-land! Our call goes out - from band. And horror carves the soul’s thread At once... The freedom with us - in the bounded world! We neither bypass, nor we could ever float In minefield. - Don’t scare, the shore’s so near! - The captain has told. Save Our Souls - please! We’re crazy with heavy breath. Save Our Souls - please! And hasten all to us! Oh, hear us on earth-land! Our call goes out - from band. And horror carves the soul’s thread At once... Should float at dawn by the strict battle-order. We’d better to die in the light, so bright. And way is unmarked, as we lost by the sight, The future is - Memory noble. Save Our Souls - please! We’re crazy with heavy breath. Save Our Souls - please! And hasten all to us! Oh, hear us on earth-land! Our call goes out - from band. And horror carves the soul’s thread At once... And surfaced at last, but the exit - is shut! We rush forward straightly to bared shipyard. That’s finally - end. And with nerves strained in cord Instead of torpedos We’re ramming the berth! Save Our Souls - please! We’re crazy with heavy breath. Save Our Souls - please! And hasten all to us! Oh, hear us on earth-land! Our call goes out - from band. And horror carves the soul’s thread At once...
