LYRICS:
01 The Pale Usher 0:00
“Who thundering comes on blackest steed
With slacken’d bit and hoof of speed?
Beneath the clattering iron’s sound
The cavern’d echoes wake around
The foam that streaks the courser’s side
Seems gather’d from the ocean-tide
Though weary waves are sunk to rest
There’s none within his rider’s breast
-Excerpts from “The Giaour“ by Lord Byron-“

02 Call Me Ishmael 13:32
“Alone, alone, all alone,
Alone on a wide wide sea!
And never a saint took pity on
My soul in agony.
The many men, so beautiful!
And they all dead did lie:
And all the thousand slimy things
Lived on; and so did I.
I looked upon the rotting sea,
And drew my eyes away;
I looked upon the rotting deck,
And there the dead men lay.
I looked to heaven, and tried to pray
