Albatross
The night was silent before the storm__
But I couldn't sleep as my Albatross wanted to fly__
A thousand hands strangled my throat, and I was loosing__
They were screaming.....shoot!
I awoke! I awoke and broke the glaciers__
And took a fly like a brave soldier,
Who held still the sword with blood on its tip.
They were still screaming........
Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!
The gun roared, and my wings were closed!
