Hero of the Sea

Your purpose strayed away
Ill-fated shores await
Berth full of other people
So cramped it's smothering
Sweet shanties of deceivers
Drag demon from within
Here compass wildly spinning
Shipwreck is dead ahead
Your first anchor has long been aweigh
Still remember the oaths you have broken?
Left ashore every cargo undear
Left it back where your name is still spoken
Can you feel freedom float in the air?
Only bone-chilling winds howl there
Tattered sails that you've torn will not help
Left adrift with your burden to bear
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
Single promise you've made to your mother
Given in, let the old ways take hold
With your vessel seaworthy for more
Seas are rough, not for faint heart to handle
Any port in a storm will not settle
Every tide you have turned just to get here
Just reminds me of those bound by blood
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
Single promise you've made to your mother
Given in, let the old ways take hold
With your vessel seaworthy for more
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
Just reminds of those bound by blood
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
(Blegh)
Just reminds of those
Bound by blood
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
Single promise you've made to your mother
Given in, let the old ways take hold
With your vessel seaworthy for more
Seas are rough, not for faint heart to handle
Any port in a storm will not settle
Every tide you have turned just to get here
Just reminds me of those bound by blood
Led by money and greed, you've forgotten
Single promise you've made to your mother
Given in, let the old ways take hold
With your vessel seaworthy for more
Just reminds me of these
(Bound by blood)
Just reminds me of these
Just reminds me of these
(Bound by blood)
Just reminds me of these
Just reminds me of these
(Bound by blood)
Just reminds me of these
Just reminds me of these
Just reminds me...

Look around, feel the cold
Nothing changes in your world.
Give control to someone else,
No decisions — no regrets.
Every word they say is truth
Have no doubt in their moves
Will for safety — fair trade
And it's not up for debate.
You don't care
(You don't care)
You don't listen
(You don't listen)
Good men never go to prison
(Good men never go to prison)
Justice reigns,
(Justice reigns)
The law prevails over those
(Over those)
You'll never face
(You'll never face)
You don't care and you don't listen
Good men never go to prison
Justice reigns, the law prevails
Over those you'll never face
Look behind, peek over walls,
See how power is enforced.
Way of violence, way of fear
Can you fight what's rooted in?
Way of violence, way of fear
Can you fight what's rooted in?
Say "Yes" cause you're a yes-man
Conform you're conformist
Don't struggle, it's pointless.
Don't change, you don't deserve it.
Say "Yes" cause you're a yes-man
Conform you're conformist
Don't struggle, it's pointless.
Don't change, you don't deserve it.
Look around, feel the cold
(Feel the cold)
Nothing changes in your world.
Give control to someone else,
No decisions — no regrets.
Every word they say is truth
Have no doubt in their moves
Will for safety — fair trade
And it's not up for debate.
Isolation leads to weakness
One by one you'll fall on your knees
Bring together solemn hearts
Fan the flames, ignite a spark.
Apathy leaves world in ruins
Rise against oppressive rulers
Up in arms brake down their order
Just don't leave the world burning

A Letter to Father
05:54
|
|||
Dear father,
I'm writing this to let you know,
That your will has always been my command.
Up until now.
I'm taking my crew out to sail east
And stop the offensive.
I know you've spoken against it.
I also know
You did so because you don't want a reckless death for your son.
But by the time you read this
We'll be far out of reach,
Thus I can disobey you
And be the man you desired me to become.
Rising waves
Are Shattering us.
Sons of pride pledge,
Stones to be cast.
Rising waves, be
Carrying on,
Nurturing me,
The weary son!
You're reading this, so witness my vow:
I'll do whatever, no matter how
If not by god's, then your command!
In this I vow, I'll be the man!
I'll be the man!
Salt-soaked people
Fighting the sea
Bound to be here
They cannot see
Blind eyes could blaze
Shrine and heal thee
But I face this
They cannot see!
And so we're sailing!
Discarding every selfish thought
The winds are wailing
And tearing us to very bones
I know ahead is
What we declared we would achieve
And we won't perish
Until this promise is fulfilled!
Go load your guns
And sharpen your blades
Cause we are standing
At a bloody hell's gates!
Set your hearts
And empty your thoughts
Our glory will shine
But our bodies may rot!
Salt-soaked people
Fighting the sea
Bound to be here
They cannot see
Blind eyes could blaze
Shrine and heal thee
But I face this
They cannot see!
You've done so much for me,
Yet I kept disappointing you.
The hopes you had are broken,
But no more!
Not only will I resurrect them,
I will live up to them
And if the price is death,
I will embrace it like a man should.
Will it be worth the pride in your kin?
While I'm standing on my feet,
Albeit knee-deep in water,
While my lungs breathe air, not sea foam
I want to know: will you be proud of me?
Was it worth it???
(Worth it)
Rules set in stone
By forefathers,
Sins to atone,
Rules we follow.
We fight our war
For your favour.
We're fighting for
Being saviours!

Faceless

Take off the mask
Look in the mirror
Do you still fear what hides underneath
Scream all you want,
It will change nothing
I'm in your head until you leave
I'd take control but the way I see it
You'll bring yourself down on the knees
This world's rule: survives the fittest
With no regards to how one'd fit
Take little pride that you're still breathing
You will be smothered by the guilt
Adapt and fight, do what you have to
Cause others will do just the same
Do not fall down, no chance to get up
Weakness is met with contempt and hate
When you succumb
I'll look in your eyes
The first to witness innocence die
All this struggle will have been for naught
Nothing changes in this world
Lust and pride
Tear you from the inside
Greed and wrath
Are now the only true path
Envy and sloth
Have made the matter much worse
You tried so hard to fit and failed
All that you have are faces that you don
Which one is real? Was there ever one?
It's better if you'll never know
True you lies here, beneath the cracks in mirrors
I've seen you lie,
Betray and ignore
You are now ready to go
Follow the scent so familiar yet unknown
Will you recall the features from long ago?
You're a pretender and it takes its toll
Shadows engulf myriad masks on the wall
Make up your mind if you have one, it's make-or-brake
So many times you've committed the same mistakes
Clinging to ways that keep you in the dark
But you're fires fade, desperately need a spark
Follow the scent so familiar yet unknown
(Follow the scent)
Will you recall the features from long ago?
You're a pretender and it takes its toll
(Will you recall)
Shadows engulf myriad masks on the wall
Make up your mind if you have one, it's make-or-brake
(You're a pretender)
So many times you've committed the same mistakes
Clinging to ways that keep you in the dark
(Shadows engulf)
But you're fires fade, desperately need a spark
Can't change the past but what's coming is up to you
Alter yourself or make way for someone new
Once the affection you gifted was sincere
Now there's only affliction from giving in
Replaced with chunks of somebody else's thoughts
Foreign to self, you've rejected all that you owned
Nobody left to call,
(No place to call your home)
You're faceless
No place to call your home,
You're faceless
Nobody left to call,
You're faceless
No place to call your home,
You're faceless
(No place to call your home)
Nobody left to call,
(No place to call your home)
No place to call your home,
Nobody left to call,
No place to call your home,
You're faceless!

Unholy Child

Stuck in a cage
Made of my mistakes
Coated with guilt
And by anger tempered
I've lost track of time
I've seen no new faces
And the ones I've
Known I wont see again
Broke the rules for worse or better
It matters not
I'm still right here
Sometimes I wish
I could send a letter
To the ones I've hurt
One that they won't read
Tie me down, I do not care
If I'm ever free again
Torment my mind, make me insane
Do what you must to quelch the pain
In mind's prison
Chained and feebled
Serve your sentence
Lifelong inmate
Colorless sky is my only solace
Even clouds remind of reasons why I'm here
Sins of the past've burnt my heart to ashes
Pinned to the ground, I can't hope to fly
I'm convicted, but I object
Who are you to judge and reflect?
Hindsight gives you the cutting edge
I've already made my amends!
Find one more scapegoat to beat!
Guilt's just a way of controlling me!
I'll cleanse my name, my every deed!
You won't keep me confined down here!
In mind's prison
Unforgiven
Set yourself free
Rally your strength and fight
In mind's prison
Unforgiven
Set you free!
Rally your strength and fight
All this years I've spent in vain
Playing by the rules of your wicked game
Bribes are the way you pass decisions
I'll rip your house of hearts to pieces
It's time for me to let go
What awaits me I'll face head-on
I've been idle for far too long
Time to find somewhere...
Where I belong
You've placed a burden upon my mind
Grief and guilt for what I left behind
I'm unforgiven yet I forgive
This mistakes won't be the death of me
Rise from the ashes, soar the sky
Let out the liberation cry
Don't take rebukes from someone else
Find the strength to acquit yourself
In mind's fortress
I've found my purpose
Chains can't hold me,
Future's calling!
Colorless sky is in my reach now
I'll chase away the clouds to see the sun!
Sins of the past burden me no longer!
Free of my doubts, I can fly again!
I can fly again!
I can fly again!

Whiskey Bar

Another sip,
Another drink,
I seek forgiveness of those who are dead.
Restless mind,
I've lost my way
Familiar visage won't let me stay
A woeful sight, a fall from grace
I've lost my light beneath the waves
None left to bring it back to me
That darkest place's my vessel's rest
All that remains of it is ache
Liquors wash off salt water's taste
(Salt water's taste)
Let storms crash down, let thunder roar
We'll persevere through many more
Swim dead ahead, don't shift the course
Hold fast, set sails for lands before us
We can make it, that I've promised
The sea itself thirsts for our lives
The hull is breached, we've lost this fight
For my mistakes today we'll die
And as she sinks, the chilling grasp of dark abyss
Embraces us
I'll take this knowledge to my grave
Too scared of judgement I will face
I still remember the piercing gaze
Of Chaplain sinking to his death.
I promised drinks, I promised feast
Now all but I rest deep beneath
The ocean's routes that we have travelled
Time and time again.
Let storms crash down, let thunder roar
We'll persevere through many more
Swim dead ahead, don't shift the course
Hold fast, set sails for lands before us
We can make it, that I've promised
The sea itself thirsts for our lives
The hull is breached, we've lost this fight
For my mistakes today we'll die
And as she sinks, the chilling grasp of dark abyss
Sleepless nights, haunting cries
All my dreams are of that day
Led by greed, can't be redeemed
In death I'll join my crew again.
What future holds I no longer care
Debauchery beats despair
My only hope is that they'll forgive
I still sense hatred in the air.
The placid waves
The sky clear blue
I dwell on land where I can do
No harm to those I truly cared
Their souls remain at darkest depth
No absolution, but I won't run
Lead me to them, the Northern Star!
I hope they've watched me from afar.
I'll meet my crew at the whiskey bar.
I'll meet my crew at the whiskey bar.

Lullaby
04:39
|
|||
The candle’s flame is burning low,
All around is drowning in the night.
The last shade’s getting off the wall,
Let dreams get over the faded light.
Listen to my voice,
Let lullaby make you asleep.
Keep calm and close your shining eyes,
Feel warmth that blanket helps to keep.
The sun will set below the horizon
To rise again.
The stars will show the way for your eyes,
Who knows what is ahead.
Be bold, don’t be afraid,
See what adventures await!
Wherever you are day by day -
I'm with you anyway.
I won't let anyone hurt you!
You won't give in.
Blessed are the debaters,
Who test the strength of our thoughts.
Getting through separation
Makes unity being like award
Don't be afraid to leave the room —
We learn from all mistakes,
That make the moments of joy brighter
And keep us all awake.
Nothing lasts forever,
Don't waste your time.
The only thing that eternal is you
In memories of other's minds.
I will remember you so small and beautiful,
Like on your first day.
Remember me, I have to go away...
You should know that I'm always with you,
In your heart,
Just remember me,
I will protect you!
The sun will set below the horizon
To rise again.
The stars will show the way for your eyes,
Who knows what is ahead!
Be bold, don’t be afraid
See what adventures await!
Wherever you are day by day -
I'm with you anyway,
I won't let anyone hurt you!
I won't,
I won't!
