Lyrics
out into the blue
never to return
out into the blue
a man out at sea is an insect
an insect on a splinter
that’s where I met my end
on the foreigner’s ship
with rats on the lines...
out into the blue
never to return
out into the blue
he will not cooperate with those in control
and goes to file his complaint
across the sea
the ship's captain takes a king's bribe
Hasan slipped his cable before he returned
a sailor sewed him up in the canvas
and out of the fog death appeared
out at sea
these crimes at sea will go down
like a sunken treasure
secrets that no one will tell
a murdered ghost will warn the son
one day they'll conspire against you as well
go out into the blue...
