lyrics

Laid before him the path of privilege
Sense of promise unfolding
Taught from birth to respect the great
force upon their wooden ship
Trust upon the greenhorne whose not found
Lighthouse of guidance of passage right
Crests of waves curl and broil
parallels of his disposition

Wind and chapped skin salted from shea
Fears of falling from the Earth's seas
Come to him boiling wet abound
Continuous aroused blue
Stakes are rising, faith revising
Buoyant reliance

Do not succumb
Do not succumb
The sting of cold rain

Aids
propose a course
to his chagrin
and theirs, he states,
"You're dismissed"

"I
remember why
you and I
will never see
eye to eye"

Crew gapes
Fists shake
Minds race,
parsing his madness
He makes
plans to
escape
He mulls but
he makes no
mistakes in his own mind

Waves smash
Bolts flash
Mast cracks
Winds lash
Winds stronger than expected
Their power is reflected in the black sky,
the waves crashing high
Crashing waves in darkness deafening
Freezing rain, the ship is splintering

Captain, captain die with she
Cold blanket wraps everyone to sleep
Molding folding rivets placed deep
Vacuum pulling to the bottom of sea

Maritime songs sing widowed lovers
But the coward flees the drowning wreckage
Left alone sailor drifting uncovered
The last silt of his honor he has dredged

Planks afloat placed perfectly
Diseased rumination suffuse his mind
Sea salt immersed hands grasp life
The squall has failed undoubtedly

He doesn't need them
They held him down born to drown

He floats and dreams monotonous spirals,
But from the corner of his eyes
He sees a distant shadow hiding
Mountains and trees are seeking his love

But what hides in the deep
is vile and comes from fire

Sailor sailor swim to her
Island oasis he did find
Know her comfort has spotted you

Coming ashore as the sun does warm him
Gather explore this land before you

But what hides in the deep
is vile and comes from fire

What is bright and glimmering
through the thick and menacing
A forest of the highest prize

Drawn to
glimmering means
Indulge in primordial needs

Bound to
manacled greed
Madness plants a rotten seed

He gave
their eulogy
"Their sacrifice was for me"

Angst feeds
sprouting disease
Craving asylum from thieves

This is yours
You have endured
Take it now
Every tree does light your path

In his eyes
Path of light

His raft is too heavy
it has submerged
His love her swore to his wealth and trove

Scramble and gather
every coin alike
Loathing the world from this golden shore

Guiltless
Blameless
Righteous
Passage

He will not leave, his one true love
He will never leave you

Under the sun to rot as one
Flesh-burned companion of none
