I shot the bird who brings the southern wind
Not the bird who brings the fog and mist
I alone shot the Albatross
Instead of the Cross the Albatross, 'bout my neck was hung
Where do we go when it's all been done?
When will it all fall away?
This beautiful insanity
When will I be set free?
From the ship without a breeze
I shot the bird who brings the southern wind
Not the bird who brings the fog and mist
Instead of the Cross the Albatross
When will it all fall away?
When will they rise to set me free?
From this death I've made
Where do we go when it's all been done?
I alone shot the Albatross
Instead of the Cross the Albatross
'Bout my neck was hung
When will it all fall away?
This beautiful insanity
Someone please set me free
