Amorphis
The Skull
[Verse 1]
Carried by restless winds
Under the crimson cloud
I sailed the purple waves
Aboard my comely ship
The ship was adorned with banners
With flags dedicated for me
A spirit summoned to its sails
Emblems painted with blood

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The evening came, the night fell
The moon rose, circled the island
And all around me
The starry skies glittered in the water

[Chorus]
I asked for His holy words
Besought His sage advice
I bowed to the skull of the bear
I prayed for the spirit of God
I asked for His holy words
And my heart began to sing
To the beat of the heavenly drum
And I prayed for the spirit of God
[Verse 2]
The ship it plotted my course
Evaded the rocks and shoals
It brought me to an island
On the shore of a sacred place
I climbed the side of the mountain
Made my way up, up the craggy slope
And on the top on a field of jagged rocks
I met a hallowed God

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The wind it sang, the ship it rocked
White crested waves, they knew my course
As I fell to restless sleep
I wandered to a time that's yet to come

[Chorus]
I asked for His holy words
Besought His sage advice
I bowed to the skull of the bear
I prayed for the spirit of God
I asked for His holy words
And my heart began to sing
To the beat of the heavenly drum
And I prayed for the spirit of God
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I met a hallowed God
I met a hallowed God
I met a hallowed God
I met a hallowed God
