It's been five days
In these boats of the Glen Carrig
When I's awed by such solitude
Alas, God moves in mysterious ways
So we pulled wearily towards the isle
I swear t'was all but flagrant flatness
If we'd only known it was sheer madness
We'd stayed away many nautical mile
Then there came the first telling of life
Like a lonesome wind on a breathy sigh
Yet there was no breeze that filled the air
With such a despairful cry
We harked to the weeping of souls
When it died away - no further calls
There was this monstrous silence after all
Again we harked - what might next befall?
A sullen growling from afar
The dark was full of it, I swear
Aye, no word of which I've knowledge
So well describes the hunger, most awesome to the ear

Ahab è un gruppo musicale tedesco di doom metal, formatosi nel 2007 a Hamburg. Conosciuti per il loro sound epico e atmosferico, fortemente influenzato dal genere post-metal e dalla musica classica, Ahab esplora temi di isolamento, disperazione e la lotta contro le forze oscure dell'oceano. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da riff pesanti, melodie malinconiche e un uso innovativo di strumenti orchestrali. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si annoverano "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea", "Oceanic Verses" e "Ebb and Flow". L'album di debutto "The Call of the Void" (2009) ha segnato l'inizio della loro ascesa nel panorama metal internazionale. Ahab è considerato uno dei gruppi più influenti del doom metal moderno, con un seguito fedele in tutto il mondo.
