‘Row out to me my love’
Came the gorgeous sunset cry
A force, a voice of comfort
With no danger & no lie
It’s you, when I close my eyes
No others see you in their dreams
and your voice that haunts me only
Are things not what they seem
SAIL! It’s springtime in the harbour.
Fuck the cries, the mermaid’s lies. Ignore the heathens lore.
SAIL! It’s your time in the harbour.
There’s no Red Head, alive or dead, that can whip winds off the shore
So now, from the burning sea
We watch, as the waves turn wild
and I beg don’t call another
to leave one more orphan child, tonight.
SAIL! It’s springtime in the harbour.
Fuck the cries, the mermaid’s lies. Ignore the heathen lore.
SAIL! It’s your time in the harbour.
There’s no Red Head, alive or dead, that can whip winds off the shore
So why, why take me blindly
I’ll never comprehend
Cause you, you curse the bounty
and sent me to my end
Below the ocean waves
across the thunder sea
Below the ocean waves
You sleep with me
Below the ocean waves
across the thunder sea
Below the ocean waves
You sleep with me

City Eternal

Going to the city eternal
You weigh heavy on my heart
Carrying a piece of you with me
For to leave and ne’er to part
I’ll take a strand of your silver hair
And I’ll take a strand of her golden yellow
I’ll carefully see the two intertwined
As the sound of the Trevi fountain bellows
Walk on worn polished stone
That’s a thousand years old
And the cold grasp of home
Cannot reach us in Rome
Dare to believe
That it’s not just a dream
Could we wander these streets
Not in exile, but free
Going to the city eternal
Carrying the promise that you made
You said that you would carry us with you
That you would lead us here some day
I’ll take a strand of your silver hair
And I’ll take a strand of her golden yellow
I’ll set you both free, over blessed St Peter’s
as you soar to the sky, high above the Duomo
Walk on worn polished stone
That’s a thousand years old
And the cold grasp of home
Cannot reach us in Rome
Dare to believe
That it’s not just a dream
Could we wander these streets
Not in exile, but free

Farmers, mothers seek him out
Tell him I need to be heard
I know he’ll know what it’s all about
but he needs to hear every word
The world has never seemed so dead
Failure is all that’s in my head
Please help me get back to my feet again
I need you brother more than you could ever know.
If I could get back to my feet again
I'll face this fight of mine & then I’ll let you go.
Please heal my soul now, Andreas
Alpha apostle of light
I know in your final agony
You spilled your blood for what’s right
But all these men have never bled
We’re crying out to be led
Please help me get back to my feet again
I need you brother more than you could ever know.
If I could get back to my feet again
I'll face this fight of mine & then I’ll let you go.
If I should falter now, would you raise me
Lift me from this hell, this misery
and save me, save me
Brother don’t you hear me
Show me that I’m not alone
Brother you can heal me
Show me all you’ve ever known

Heart of the Sea

Beneath the wave
Rests my soul to save
All hope for me
Is whispered by the sea
I was trying to find you
Across the foam
Endless blue I roam
And lulled to sleep
With verses from the deep
I was trying to find you
Cause I won’t each the shore
Without you
And I will breathe no more
Without you
Thought I was all alone
Then I hear it
A voice that will sing me home
I can feel it
My heart grows strong
Enchanted by your song
Bound for the coast
The place I love the most
To be found and lost
At such a cost
So here’s to you, and me
And the sea
