[00:36.690] In the age of electricity and oil, my tugboat ploughs through waveless liquid soil
[00:44.340]
[00:45.350] Cruising at thirteen knots on pitch black sea.
[00:48.490]
[00:49.630] There's a strange object on the radars in front of me. Still nothing I can see.
[00:57.710]
[01:00.910] Just an open dreary sea...
[01:06.350]
[01:13.030] Several attempts to contact that what appeared to be the size of a ship.
[01:16.520]
[01:17.260] No response 'till I receive transmissions of hostile nature.
[01:21.470]
[01:22.070] These voices cursing my goddamn name.
[01:25.190]
[01:26.340] Hell, is this witchcraft or am I insane?
[01:29.340]
[01:58.820] All of a sudden a dark silhouette ascends through godlike mist.
[02:02.810]
[02:07.430] While it comes closer, I recognize the image of an old deserted ship.
[02:14.100]
[02:16.700] I am aghast at the sight of a derelict vessel sailing this awkward night,
[02:22.560]
[02:22.790] Appearing like a black floating cadaver.
[02:26.220]
[02:30.930] There's not one single man aboard.
[02:32.510]
[02:33.020] Her torn sails cloaking her like a cobwebbed widow,
[02:37.340]
[02:37.500] Posing against this sad nightmarish horizon.
[02:40.530]
[02:42.200] The temperature suddenly dropped.
[02:44.190]
[02:44.640] My great-grandfather's clock, just ticking, now stopped.
[02:47.070]
[02:47.770] I am smothered by a sudden shroud of fear.
[02:51.550]
[02:56.290] For there's a ghost ship 'pon a funereal quest.
[02:58.470]
[02:58.980] With a black bird circling hypnotic around its rocking empty crow's nest.
[03:04.000]
[03:07.970] Fortunately this atrocious mystery sets sail away from me.
[03:12.060]
[03:16.670] Some sailors claim other seamen beheld such sights.
[03:20.460]
[03:21.390] Most died weird deaths during fog-clad days and nights.
[03:25.540]
[03:25.870] The ship vanished as suddenly as it appeared.
[03:29.900]
[03:31.100] Should I feel fear? Was it even there?
[03:35.820]
[03:37.590]
