Eldritch, inspired by Gary Marx’s original lyrics to “First and Last and Always”, wrote new words to a Wayne Hussey composition which contained a few passages sung in German. “‘Marian’ is a very special song; it’s not like any of the other songs. I wrote it in ten minutes, usually the lyrics take me...
[Verse 1]
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home...
[Chorus]
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
[Verse 2]
Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me
[Chorus]
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
[Verse 3]
Was ich kann und was ich könnte
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr
Gib mir wieder etwas Schönes
Zieh mich aus dem Meer
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
Kannst du mich schreien hören
Ich bin hier allein
Ich höre dich rufen, Marian
Ohne deine Hilfe verliere ich mich in diesem Ort
[Chorus]
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
