about

Once upon a time, a majestic golden ship set sail on the seven seas. The passengers of this great ship felt very jubilant indeed for within its deep cabins lay many comforting delights. The grand staircase, intricately carved in marble, was a wondrous sight to behold. The luxurious ballroom, with its hanging silver and gold chandeliers, sparkled each evening as the band played a merry song.

And so the ship travelled merrily in its sojourn for twenty one days until the night of 31st October when an unexpected calamity struck the seas. The kind of storm that no force on earth could stop.

As the passengers danced in merriment, unaware of their impending fate, a great curse from the depths of the black sea brought forth a power too deadly to fight, too horrifying to see. As the ship swayed violently in the storm, the music in the ballroom became deranged and the screams of the dancers pierced the dark sky, echoing all the way to the moon above.

Within twenty one minutes, the ship had descended one hundred miles beneath the ocean, a deathly silence shrouding her and all contained therein, for eternity.

Well, not quite.. there was one night when the music would play again.

The very next year, on that fateful date, the passengers of the ship were suddenly resurrected. The ballroom sparkled with life again as they found themselves dancing the final dance, to that final song , until the final hour. But then as the clock struck, they would disappear again, lifeless, back to bones, back into the deepest depths of the ocean.

And this is how it played out, every year, on the same date, at that same fateful hour, until the end of time.

lyrics

***
We are the ghosts of the final day
dancing forever in our fateful play
but as the lights go down and all the music fades
as the darkness comes, when will we dissipate?

I've been forever in the darkest place
my bones are breaking, got a headless face
but the clock above, its strikes with all its got
and as we rise again, when will it stop?
