lyrics

Out into the blue
never to return
Out into the blue
A man at sea is an insect
An insect on a splinter
And that’s where I met my end
On the foreigner’s boat
With rats on the lines
Out into the blue never to return

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

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, out into the blue
