The days I’ve felt alone
And the sea, it brings me back again
So that I can see my wife
And I can see my child
Home, I’m home, it never changes
Same old faces, same old faces
I stared into oblivion
And found my own
I stared into oblivion
Into oblivion
Find in me the hope
That you have never known
Find in us the faith
The faith to bring you home
I stared into oblivion,
And found my own
I stared into oblivion,
And found my own
I stared into oblivion
And found my own reflection there (reflection there)
Home, now that I’m coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed.
Home, now that I’m coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed.
Home, now that I’m coming home
Will you be the same as when I saw you last?
Tell me how much time has passed.
I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
(And found my own)
I stared into oblivion
And found my own reflection there
Spitting from the bridges
Like a bird perched on a branch
I’m wilting like a tree
That will never let me breathe
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Where does the crow fly
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Will you follow it home
For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open
No it never came back to break me
The way it broke it down
Spitting from the bridges, while the trees give a soft sigh to the ground
Soul sailor with your flag held high
Where does the crow fly
Soul sailor with your flag held high
Will you follow it home
For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
Stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open
For the road that we walk
Has more miles left to talk
Stories on and on we go
Into the great wide open
Into the great wide open
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood, to my head
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood, to my head
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Where does the crow fly
Soul soldier with your gun held high
Will you follow it home
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood, to my head
The rush of the flood
Sends the blood, to my head
Climb out, climb out (woah)
Climb out, climb out (woah)
Climb out, climb out over me
Climb out, climb out (woah)
Climb out, climb out (woah)
Climb out, climb out over me
Into the great wide open
And it came from nothing
But there was always something
And when the sky burned brighter
And the nights grew darker
Hold on to everyone
That I hold dearly
To my heart
And I won’t forget them
I won’t forget them
Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
And the passing time
Reaches Out
And Covers Me
With Images
Of everyone that I have known
Are ever hard to see
And I won’t forget them
And I won’t forget them
Fading, always fading
Never needed more
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
When the day is done
Another setting sun is down
When the day is done
Another setting sun
Waiting, always waiting
Scraped across the wooden floor
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
When will you be coming home?
Scraped across the wooden floor
I’m on fire
Close to the water
And I’ll be saved again
Staring at the ocean, over and over
Will I ever see them again?
Why’d they leave so soon?
Find a way to bring me home
I don’t wanna be alone again
Not again
Find a ship to take me home
I don’t wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
I’m on a wire, over the border
And I’ll be safe again
Living on an island, over and over
I don’t think I’ll see them again
Why’d they leave so soon?
Find a way to bring me home
I don’t wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
I am a broken man, all alone
As the daylight fades (daylight fades)
And I’m just a broken man
All alone, with no hope
You are an island
Find a ship to take me home
I don’t wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
Find a ship to take me home
I don’t wanna be alone again
Not again, not again, not again, not again
You are an island
All alone in your silence
05.All Hands On Deck – Part 1: Raise The Sail
Horizon shows the signs
The eye is getting closer
Birds don’t fear the sky
The clouds are looming over
The vessel breaks the back it takes
Another wave that we must face
Raise the sail
As we all
Feel powerless
Raise the sail
As we all
Feel powerless
Bloody hands reach out
Violence breaks my body
Drowning in the sea
Lifeboats lost without them
The vessel breaks the it takes
Another wave that we must face
Raise the sail
As we all
Feel powerless
Raise the sail
As we all
Feel powerless
Drowning in the wake
As we all
Feel powerless
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart
Under crests of stars, water breaks a broken heart
06.All Hands On Deck – Part 2: Open Water
Awake
I am awake
And I’m still alive out here
Awake
I am awake
And I’m still alive out here
Blinded
By this light
It is all that surrounds me
Deep water
I can smell the blood
How long
How long before they come
Showing teeth
Bearing fever
Lost in open water
Until they find
Finds us all
Lost with all the shipwreck
Deep water
I can smell the blood
How long
How long before they come
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again
We lost control
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again
We lost control
Am I too far gone to be saved
(Lost in the water all alone)
Am I too far gone to be saved
(Lost in the water all alone)
Am I too far gone
Too far gone to be saved
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again
We lost control
Waves crashed upon the shore
And time and time again
We lost control
I lost control
Awake
I am awake
And I’m still alive out here
Launch the ships
The walls are closing in
Close our eyes
In the deepest darkness
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life among light
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Hear the sound
The call is to believe
Husbands and sons
Are lost to their sea
Sail away, sail away to find them
Half a life, half a life amongst them
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out of reach
Taken by the waves
By the waves
The light that shines
Will dull our eyes
The light that shines
Will dull the life
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
Out of reach
Taken by the waves
Out of reach
Out of reach
Out of reach
Too far gone to be saved
There are miles left to walk
And this desert never lies
Broken bottles on the floor
Cigarette kisses on the walls
Did you forget to call
To find your way back home?
Out for another drink
You find yourself alone
And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me?
Faces pass me by
And these pictures never lie to me
Broken bottles on the floor
And all this writing on the wall
Did you forget to call
To find your way back home?
Out for another drink
You find yourself alone
And with the truth I feel inside
Could you believe me?
That I could wait here all my life
For you to find me
Pass me by
Never lie
Pass me by
Never lie
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
Lie!
(Lie!)
You never lie
(Lie!)
You never lie
(Lie!)
You never lie
(Lie!)
You never lie
All the words
That we have to say
They don’t leave
When the moment comes we know we have to wait
As the days
Go on
And the places fade away
To dirt
And to dust
It all fades away
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In a moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
And the shapes we want to see
Don’t leave
Another piece that this puzzle needs
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In a moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
And the waiting is the hardest thing to take
In a moment more before we break
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away (walk away)
If you have to let it go
And these dreams keep you awake
If you have to let it go
Walk away (walk away)
I’ll never understand
Why I have been saved
The sea sings its master plan
Over the waves
Sun rise upon the line
Buckling drift
The path that I walked along
Is lost in the drift
So far away from my home
Will the stars return?
The wave of oppressive lights
This colourless storm
At peace with the thirst inside
Away from the swarm
Moments of peace will come
The wind at my heals
My body’s lifeless age
Is lost to its feel
So far away from my home
Will the stars return?
Home is where I needed you
Salvation in dreams
Heaven above me
Water below me
How can I survive this?
Swallow the sea
Blood draining me too far
And I cannot stand it
And I cannot stand it
Anymore
And I cannot stand it
Anymore
And I cannot stand it
Anymore
Collusus returning
Mountain is singing
Fish are fresh from the killing
Breath hitting me
Return to the sea to sleep
He tries to command it (elanor)
He tries to command it (elanor)
He tries to command it
Dearest hope has gone away
Swaying out so far from me
Golden hair to palm my sway
Sweetest wave bring me home
Bring me home!
Bring me home
Bring me home
Bring me home
