I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud
|
Learn to stay away from the crowd
|
In my home my light house¡¦
|
1000 steps down, round and round
|
New Years Eve, one night on the town
|
Can change one life into eternity¡¦
|
|
All I could see, her eyes, we got caught in the moment, for all night
|
Taken beyond all lines, in silence leaving ¡®em all behind
|
|
She had found the sails, for the following night
|
The town, for, her was getting way too small
|
She promised to be mine, forever ¡¦ for that one night
|
|
Moments, passion, small defeats
|
Concealed emotions found in me
|
¡®You gave life to the brand new me.¡¯
|
|
Crossing the wintry fields
|
The first hour of morning¡¯s light
|
Warmed by the flame inside,
|
The lasting memory of the ending night.
|
|
I never had a chance to stop what hit me¡¦
|
What broke my bones and mauled me¡¦
|
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep, in cold shelter
|
Fell back in the dark, and the hours of the day passed¡¦
|
|
A nightmare awakes me, blinking the light.
|
There¡¯s no guide, blind shi[s in the night
|
Oh blood red moon, eat the night.
|
|
Darkness covers my lonely soul
|
No one to feed the dying light¡¦
|
|
Good morn¡¯, oh the dreadful day
|
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me
|
For the sails of night
|
¡®Please tell me everything¡¯s alright¡¦¡¯
|
|
My voice in the room broke the silence
|
Everybody killed me with their eyes¡¦
|
What I was to hear made the people cry
|
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside
|
|
¡®All on the board White Pearl have died,
|
Coastal reef have tolled their lives
|
And you are light of the night¡¯
|
|
¡® One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground¡¦
|
Although I never saw the face, a name inked in his arm¡¦¡¯
|
|
Love can be like poetry of demons, or maybe
|
God loves complex irony?
|
The family name stated I had seen before
|
Written on her front door¡¦
|
|
¡®Silence in the courthouse!¡¯
|
A presence in the room, we both could feel
|
The father of her unborn child and me
|
|
¡®All on the board White Pearl have died,
|
Coastal reef have tolled their lives¡¯
|
While I was the guide light¡¦
|
Back in my tower, run, run, run
|
Light is out, I hope to see
|
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me
|
|
One step will take me back inside; another sees my end
|
No one can love a man who guarded the light ,
|
That died one faithful night, so many lives ¡¦
|
Although they took my heart and dried me up
|
Sometimes I still bleed¡¦
|
|
Show me the way
|
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs
|
Too many dead ends I see
|
No soul can save me
|
The respect I lost, the measure of a man¡¦
|
|
10,000 steps down round and round
|
One night at the town and I¡¯m hell bound
|
Black oceans beneath me come and swallow me
|
All aboard White Pearl had died,
|
Coastal reef come toll my life
|
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me
|
|
My little tower, seal my fate
|
Help me pay back, end their hate
|
Black oceans beneath me come and swallow me
|
One direction, down down down
|
Pitch black night for my old town
|
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
|
|
