No lords, no gods, no masters
The galleon served them well.

With clouds of black came starless night
And a sense of great foreboding
They felt the strength of Fate's cruel hand
A chill wind was a-blowin'.

The wind had voice they knew had not
Been heard in timeless aeon
And in the deep below them now
Awakened great Leviathan.

They knew the taste of freedom
Of lust for blood and gold
And now they drift eternal
Bound to their ancient lord.

Metre! Rhyming scheme!

The problem with lyrics is they nearly always look shit written down. No offence to anyone here - and I'd post my own lyrics if I didn't know this to be true - but lyrics nearly always look shit written down.

The above has a rhyming scheme and thus works as poetry; it also doesn't quite rhyme, but does scan, so is oral poetry, which is only a few feet away from decent lyrics. This last sentence in no way validates Bob Dylan, who was always shit.
