Текст песни The Last Sailing of the Miskatonic Mariner (Anchoress) с переводом

We set out at dawn

Aboard the Miskatonic Mariner

To reveal the mysteries of A strange phenomenon.

Local fishermen raving of a «wall on the water»

Set the town in a tizzy. Amid the uproar,

The Mayor has requested that the University,

We men of learning, send a team to ascertain

The nature of this structure, where it came from,

And what can be done about it.

The March of Science, moving ever onward:

Every Question has an Answer,

And every Answer brings more Questions and

On and on; a good scientist never sleeps.

To whit, verily I stand,

Gazing upon a great Question

Growing from the ocean like a Twisted spine of black needles.

We set to work; in the name of Science!

First, building temporary laboratory structures

On the surface of the nearest needle towers

While the Mariner anchors below us.

We began on the next dawn

Studying the ominous obelisks.

Fascinating; frustrating, in their

Utterly alien nature.

But when we returned

At the end of the day,

Everyone was gone. Ghosts and skin

On the Miskatonic Mariner.

We sought after any sign

To explain the missing crew,

But found nothing save for drifts of dust

On everything not sheathed in slime.

A manic, inhuman howl rent the air

As we were knocked from our feet

When something struck the Mariner.

We could only flee to the safety of our labs.

I was the last to escape and

When I turned back, I saw a Question of Teeth and tentacles that cannot be Answered.

The world began to shake.

I watched the ocean fall away beneath us.

We did it all in the name of Science.

What once a tower, now a bridge.

I looked up into the sky,

And saw it staring back at me.
