When I stand and look about the port and contemplate my life Will I ever see my countrymen again? As the captain calls us on the deck, I take my things and walk To the harbour side, I glance back one last time Leaving our nation, our problems we leave behind Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea Free from our troubles and more free from the Inheritance, unfulfilled reason behind us We flee from what is not what is, will be We flee the earth and face our harsh reality Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea? We run from evil tongues, rash judgements, selfish men Never to be seen on these shores again As we sail into ocean size and lose sight of that face of contentment around in the air We're off now to seek all our fortunes to the land of our dreams Riding the waves and the storm is upon us The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight Up in the distance and the cloud approaching No one could imagine what new was to come No there's no one going back, no there's not a second chance As we strap on to the sail, we pray to God that we won't die As we run the rough seas, as we sail from the ocean waves I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive Four ships are lost in the stormy conventions The spirits of the sun concludes and the phantoms follow us Spirits tell the time of sun through their all-consuming waves Calm and talented, no weapon against these ever-witching seas Four leagues and ten and we hit stones again We just can't get away from the eye of the storm The bond of sorrow raging strong but we cannot escape it Abandon those that we now crave, it's many leagues from sea Hold an eye for our delights and we'll play it once again But the rocks are just too large, the talisman is in my hand Limbs fatigued, trembling with cold Blinded from unseen spaces Clasping anything we can hold Heavens rain upon us for twenty days without a meal And ten with a fresh water still Those that didn't die in storms, the scurvy rest is slaughter Waste with the tide, waste what we see Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman We approach the other side of the ocean with the tide It'll be mine just for once, welcome greeting our new land The elation in our hearts, the excitement in our veins As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promise land Where are the limbs fatigued or where? I have no life left in me No more strength, got nothing left to give Must find a way to live Never thought that we could make it Truly silent shores divine For sickness I am dying from Never wanted it to end this way Waste with the tide, waste what we see Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman Waste with the tide, waste what we see Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman Waste with the tide, waste what we see Waste with the tide, shielded the talisman
