Albatross 3

So the saviour is killed

and for a while depends

The jury it will be out

from fair weather friends

No matter how barbarous

if the wind blows fair

For a murdered saviour

nobody will care

Because each one

in selfishness does live

While their interests are fulfilled

in evil they’ll forgive

So the murdered albatross

crocodile the tears

With the wind the mariner

has nothing to fear

But when they are becalmed

then they seek revenge

Then their morality

it must be avenged

Then their saviour’s memory

then they do respect

And hang the albatross

around the mariner’s neck

Becalmed the albatross avenged

Albatross hangs round his neck
