Lyric discussion by River Wolf 

Cover art for Rime of the Ancient Mariner lyrics by Iron Maiden

The poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a super awesome one. It's well worth the read especially if you really like this song. The poem is a great at sea adventure story and it has a lotta got literary devices and meanings such as punishment, justice, and redemption and the crap that the mariner go through after the albatross is killed and the gets revenge.

A great song by a dope band. Go Iron Maiden.
