lyrics

They spoke of distant lands
Across the shining glass
Untouched by mortal hands

But danger lurks beyond
A madness from the sea
A haunting requiem

Whispers in the mind
Lulling back to sleep
Alive inside a dream

Running far from home
Pounding bloody feet
Pawing for escape

Rising high on winds
A breath from up above
Distant guardians

Spirits of the old
Waking in the night
Lighting up the sky

In time
Hopes fly
Sail on
Sail on

Sweeping forth a gale to cast asunder
Maelstrom drowning cries
Old ones mock the lonesome wanderer
With malice in their eyes
But what is hope and what is madness
The gods never say
Nor where to go when the path
Is buried away

When the stars hide their guiding light
Left to walk the land under wicked sky
Hopeless to wander forever
Lured away by dreams of the shore

When the dawn returns
And the monsters fly away
When the spirits awake
And the doubters come to pray
No one knows truth from lies
Forever blackened skies
Watch, the days are passing by
Waiting for a sign
Beset by horror and strife
As one lives a life
Spent, wanting something more
Dreaming of the shore
