Williwaw (A Musical Tribute to Nightwish)

Dark, black sky
Fear the williwaw
Waves run high
Fight the merman’s maw
Looming clouds

Fear the williwaw
Seamen’s shrouds
Hide from heaven’s saw
Cold, wild wind
Fear the williwaw
Torn and skinned
Freeze in fear and awe

If you feel a sudden rise in temperature
Then beware
Might be due to a williwaw
If you cruise all along a mountain coast
You should fear a sudden blast into Neptune’s maw

Hey seamen
Will you dare to sail ahead
Past Cape Horn
Sheer fright of the williwaw

Hey sailors
Won’t you pray for merman’s grace
Keep the faith
Otherwise you will feel his claw
Violent and devastating
Gust of falling wind

See the deadly cloud
Touching down the sea
Lashes it to a wild sintflood
Hear the elvengust
Crashing on the sea

Mixing it with you sailor’s blood
Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch
To a touch of a cold wet grave
Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance
To survive this wave

Dark, black sky
Fear the williwaw
Waves run high
Fight the merman’s maw
Looming clouds

Fear the williwaw
Seamen’s shrouds
Hide from heaven’s sawIn cold fangs
In the fangs of the williwaw

You might hear a screech of your ship itself
Hey seamen
Will you sail into the maw
Of this beast
Broke out, out of hell itself

Cold erratic, katabatic
Violent and devastating
Gust of heavens rage

See the deadly cloud
Touching down the sea
Lashes it to a wild sintflood
Hear the elvengust
Crashing on the sea
Mixing it with you sailor’s blood

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch
To a touch of a cold wet grave
Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance
To survive this wave

This might may hit your ship out of the sky
Cold, wild wind
Fear the williwaw
Cold, wild wind
Fear the williwaw
Torn and skinned
Freeze in fear and awe

See the deadly cloud
Touching down the sea
Lashes it to a wild sintflood
Hear the elvengust
Crashing on the sea
Mixing it with you sailor’s blood

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch
To a touch of a cold wet grave
Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance
To survive this wave

See the deadly cloud
Touching down the sea
Lashes it to a wild sintflood
Hear the elvengust
Crashing on the sea
Mixing it with you sailor’s blood!

Feel the warmth changing to an icy touch
To a touch of a cold wet grave
Smell the salty spray on your face and pray for a chance
To survive this wave

This williwaw

Dark, black sky
Fear the williwaw
Waves run high
Fight the merman’s maw
Looming clouds
Fear the williwaw
Seamen’s shrouds
Hide from heaven’s saw
