The Island |
Such bittersweet |
Fruits from the seeds I sowed |
When I took the oar |
I pulled the needle off of north |
I forced my course |
Without waiting for the wind’s answer |
I joined the infantry, singing |
No gods, no masters |
That life is over, it’s over |
Forget the call, make it work and sing |
No gods, no masters |
Their reign is over, it’s over |
You’re on your own, make it work |
We built this ship from the wreckage |
And just prayed it might be more |
One step, two steps |
Blood is warming in me yet |
Three steps, more sweat |
Now I’m gonna build my own damn throne |
Even if I have to melt the one we built to make one |
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? |
Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? |
Just for tinder? |
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? |
Why rob the hull of your surrender? |
Your surrender? |
We built this ship from the wreckage |
But left broken, we ran ashore |
One more, two more |
Build a wall around my world |
Three more, four more |
Now I’ll make it out of frozen stone |
This time the mountain’s gonna keep its fire clear of my throne |
We built this ship from the wreckage |
We, the praised, ran ashore |
One day at sea |
Now one more day is all that I plea |
And I’ll burn the oars |
I’ll force dependence on the wind’s answer |
For this world is all rubble masquerading pearls |
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? |
Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? |
Just for tinder? |
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? |
Why rob the hull of your surrender? |
Your surrender? |
Feeling returns like a surgeon severing a nerve |
Lost soul’s sending pain from the phantomverse |
No gods, no masters |
That life is over, it’s over |
No gods, no masters |
Their reign is over, it’s over |
