So the saviour is killed and for a while depends The jury it will be out from fair weather friends No matter how barbarous if the wind blows fair For a murdered saviour nobody will care Because each one in selfishness does live While their interests are fulfilled in evil they’ll forgive So the murdered albatross crocodile the tears With the wind the mariner has nothing to fear But when they are becalmed then they seek revenge Then their morality it must be avenged Then their saviour’s memory then they do respect And hang the albatross around the mariner’s neck Becalmed the albatross avenged Albatross hangs round his neck
