Moored by a rope to a block of stone
covered with peat in a bed of clay
A cast of lots and a rune of bone
darkened the earth of the judgment day
Foundered the ship the soul set free
ferried over the ocean blue sea
Foundered the soul the ship to be
buried under the evergreen tree
Chained to a post by a weight of lead
scuttled with mud in a bog of sand
A grave of goods and a noose of thread
darkened the earth of the promised land
