[02:33.34] Another dawn out here
[02:36.77] Or so I reckon it must be
[02:40.76] A slightly paler shade of grey around
[02:45.65] If not inside of me
[02:48.00]
[03:29.40] I stand firm here now
[03:30.88] At this ship's prow
[03:32.00] But I'm a proud captain no more
[03:35.30] I rule this crew with a heavy hand
[03:39.23] But they are but ghosts
[03:42.21] And I feel only the biting rain
[03:44.91] On my face at most
[03:47.00]
[03:55.22] There are great powers here
[03:56.66] But I can't wield them
[03:58.32] I am no god, can't bend the elements to my will
[04:01.41] Though I've prayed to the lords of wind and rain
[04:03.96] All around me remains
[04:06.55] Still
[04:08.00]
[04:09.67] We are given this board game and a few of the pieces
[04:12.86] But most are missing
[04:15.72] Then the Lady Fortuna robs you of judgment and breath
[04:19.31] As soon as you're kissing
[04:21.00]
[04:22.18] With the scarcest of provisions
[04:25.21] Upon the icy waves we're cast
[04:27.99] So far from home
[04:30.25] No birds shall land on these masts
[04:32.00]
[04:34.95] Drifting, ever drifting
[04:37.46] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[04:39.84] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[04:41.98] Carry me away to anywhere but here
[04:44.93] Drifting, ever drifting
[04:46.89] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[04:49.63] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[04:51.60] Life is a beautiful ship
[04:52.90] But I am lost at sea
[04:55.00]
[05:40.31] I left the homely fire to wrestle the sea
[05:45.44] But if they reckon me dead, am I still me?
[05:50.32] I cannot turn back, yet see no lands ahead
[05:55.85] Bound to sleep on the ocean's bed
[06:01.20] There is no straight road, no enchanted isles
[06:06.90] The world is bent, and so am I
[06:11.42] No one can bridge what time and oceans sever
[06:16.22] Those realms are lost, should I sail forever
[06:19.00]
[06:21.40] Drifting, ever drifting
[06:23.93] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[06:26.46] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[06:28.38] Carry me away to anywhere but here
[06:31.42] Drifting, ever drifting
[06:33.33] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[06:35.92] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[06:37.96] Life is a beautiful ship
[06:39.41] But I am lost at sea
[06:42.00]
[07:02.61] Sometimes I believe
[07:05.26] I hear a lonely piper playing
[07:09.66] Somewhere, out there in the mist
[07:16.89] But the notes melt away
[07:20.34] Like snowflakes in my hand
[07:23.15] There is no harbour
[07:26.75] There is no fiddle band
[07:30.00]
[07:39.00] Sometimes I believe
[07:41.44] I see faint lights twinkling
[07:45.22] Somewhere, out there in the mist
[07:52.41] But they are not lanterns
[07:55.44] To help lonely sailors find
[07:58.97] Their way, I know, they are but
[08:02.91] Flickers in my mind
[08:05.00]
[08:36.45] Maybe I am gone already
[08:38.61] I feel I should go, I would go
[08:41.53] Draped only with an almost faded glow
[08:44.94] A cape sprayed with a few sands of glory
[08:47.86] I could leave them, I would leave them
[08:50.20] They are nothing, 'tis all folly
[08:54.50] My spirit is ready to go into the soothing darkness
[08:56.00]
[09:06.43] Touching the stars
[09:08.65] Perchance to dream
[09:11.44] With luck to escape into the night
[09:16.40] But still this rope that binds me
[09:18.82] To the living lands won't be untied
[09:22.12] It is worn thin as a single strand of hair
[09:27.65] Yet it holds like a wire of steel
[09:30.00]
[11:59.64] Another dawn out here
[12:01.65] Or so I reckon it must be
[12:05.83] A slightly paler shade of grey around
[12:09.95] If not inside of me
[12:11.00]
[12:15.32] Visibility still naught
[12:17.92] Surface is calm but mirrors nothing
[12:21.12] New clouds keep coming in
[12:23.37] Though my sails won't unfurl
[12:25.91] If clouds indeed they be
[12:28.54] Or smoke from the scorching of the world
[12:30.00]
[12:34.90] Water's dark below me
[12:37.20] Dark as my heart and as cold
[12:39.74] Do not feel alive
[12:41.69] Only feel I'm growing old
[12:43.00]
[12:51.65] Drifting, ever drifting
[12:53.46] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[12:56.37] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[12:58.18] Carry me away to anywhere but here
[13:00.95] Drifting, ever drifting
[13:02.87] The ever calmer waters terrifying me
[13:05.76] Shifting, pray winds be shifting
[13:07.80] Life is a beautiful, mystical, magical ship
[13:10.44] But I am lost at sea
[13:12.00]
[13:56.46] I left a homely fire, but forgot the road back
[14:01.40] I laid roses on a grave, but forgot both name and tears
[14:07.71] The anchor will reach no bottom
[14:10.62] The wind won't fill the sails
[14:14.25] All is now dark
[14:17.92] All is now dark
[14:21.86] All is now dark
[14:23.88] I am lost at sea
