Until We Reach The Shore

The ship of life sets out on its course

Sending out a challenge to the gods

As the cold black sea waits silently

We embark to find our destiny

Left alone in the arms of fate

The world sees and feels our every move

With an open restless mind

We leave the first shore behind

Surrounded by the voices of the night

We struggle on and try not to look behind

Washed away by waves of love and hate

To be swept around by the hands of fate

Dark skies whip me with silver tears

The night whispers secrets into my ears

Winds blow cold across the raging sea

Singing songs of what used to be

Anxiously we embrace the storm

(Until we reach the shore)

Currents flow around me

Carrying other souls just like me

Drained of strength by the burning sun

Frozen by fear of what's to come

But one day this journey will greet death

And the time will come to leave the deck

Birth to death and shore to shore

Maybe the journey will begin once more
