See him fly across the sky 
saving souls no reason why 
He in mercy goes in peace 
each one's soul to release 
Which of them wants to be saved 
takes them from a certain grave 
Each of them who does repent 
up to Heaven will be sent 
But while evil's still alive 
all our saviours they will die 
For in jealousy they live 
in the righteous can't forgive 
So the mariner his bow takes 
and his saviour does break 
He who has him saved 
now feels like a slave 
So though he was sure to drown 
shoots in malice shoots him down 
So the saviour from the sky 
for his vanity he cries 
So for vanity he dies 
shot down from the sky 
The albatross he dies 
the mariner's foolish pride
