Embrace of the Endless Ocean

I stroke the blade with my hand

The sharp edge cuts the skin

Blood drips to the rain wet sand

My journey can begin

Once a slave but now I'm free

My honour is restored

Once again I'll ride the seas

Free at last from whip and oar

I slide the sword into a sheath

The ocean god is hailed

And as we push out to the sea

We raise the red striped sails

I've missed the breeze of my home shores

The frozen lakes and winter snow

But now my dream starts to unfold

Father, I'm coming home

The storm came down without remorse

And water crushed the rails

The ship was thrown back and forth

A strong wind ripped the sails

The icy waves embrace my skin

I am going numb

The endless ocean swallows me

This will be my cold wet tomb

Won't feel the breeze of my home shore

Nor see the lakes, or winter snow

My hopeful dreams lie ripped and torn

Father, I die alone

I die alone
