[length: 08:45]
[00:17.79]When I stand and look about the port
[00:22.09]And contemplate my life
[00:27.18]Will I ever see my countrymen again?
[00:36.16]As the captain calls us on the deck
[00:40.30]I take my things and walk
[00:44.33]To the harbourside, I glance back one last time
[00:56.34]Fleeing our nation, our problems we leave behind
[01:02.86]Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide
[01:08.10]We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea
[01:15.89]Free from our troubles, more free from thee
[01:21.61]Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us
[01:28.30]We flee from what is not, what is will be
[01:34.87]We flee the earth, face our harsh reality
[01:41.34]Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea?
[01:47.69]We run from the evil tongues, rash judgements, selfish men
[01:53.89]Never to be seen on these shores again
[01:59.84]As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of the land
[02:06.60]A face of contentment around in the air
[02:12.66]We’re off now to seek all our fortunes
[02:17.70]To the land of our dreams
[02:25.17]
[02:33.47]Riding the waves and the storm is upon us
[02:38.10]Winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight
[02:44.95]Off in the distance a dark cloud approaches
[02:50.90]None could imagine what there was to come
[02:56.51]No, there’s no one going back
[02:59.10]No, there’s not a second chance
[03:01.81]As we strap onto the side
[03:04.42]Pray to God that we won’t die
[03:07.60]As we ride the rough seas
[03:10.73]Soak on the ocean waves
[03:14.05]I just hope for all our lives
[03:17.00]Pray that I survive
[03:19.92]Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions
[03:25.63]Spirits of the sunken crews
[03:28.55]Phantoms follow us
[03:31.02]Spirits, sails, they drive us on
[03:33.76]Through the all consuming waves
[03:36.70]Cold mortality
[03:38.59]No weapon against these ever raging seas
[03:42.23]
[03:54.36]Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again
[04:00.08]Just can’t get away from the eye of the storm
[04:05.89]The birds outsoar the raging storm
[04:08.56]We cannot escape it
[04:11.64]Abandoned earth that we now crave
[04:14.54]Is many leagues from safe
[04:16.65]Holding on for our dear lives
[04:19.65]And we’re praying once again
[04:23.08]Rotten luck or just jonahed?
[04:25.34]Talisman is in my hand
[04:29.32]
[04:51.41]Limbs fatigued, trembling with cold
[04:54.47]Blinded from the sea spray salt
[04:57.23]Clasping anything we can hold
[05:00.12]Heaven’s rain upon us falls
[05:02.95]20 days without a meal
[05:05.56]Ten without fresh water still
[05:08.37]Those that didn’t die in storms
[05:11.29]Scurvy rest did slaughter
[05:13.29]
[05:24.68]Westward the tide
[05:29.73]Westward we sail on
[05:35.43]Westward the tide
[05:40.69]Sail by the talisman
[05:46.47]
[06:46.68]We approach the other side
[06:49.31]Of the ocean with the tide
[06:52.11]In our favour just for once
[06:54.96]Welcome greeting our new land
[06:57.64]The elation in our hearts
[07:00.36]The excitement in our veins
[07:03.12]As we sail towards the coastline
[07:06.05]Of our golden promised land
[07:09.11]
[07:29.85]Weary limbs fatigued away
[07:32.39]I have no life left in me
[07:35.17]No strength and nothing left to give
[07:38.67]Must find the will to live
[07:41.28]Never thought that we could make it
[07:43.36]Truly sight of shores divine
[07:46.23]Sickness I am dying from
[07:49.52]Never wanted it to end this way
[07:52.76]Westward the tide
[07:57.84]Westward we sail on
[08:03.38]Westward the tide
[08:08.65]Sail by the talisman
[08:14.20]Westward the tide
[08:19.93]Westward we sail on
[08:25.08]Westward the tide
[08:30.44]Sail by the talisman
