From quiet waters we set sail
Distance beckoned with its veil
The hold is full, the crew's on board
Gentle wind caught our careless boat
Now every man has got to save himself
The compass lied so we got lost
Drunken helmsman left his post
Someone screamed, the anchor's torn off
Desperate cries won't help us slow down
Now every man has got to save himself
We were blind
Gave our lives with no fears
Royal writ sent our ships overseas
Furious waves threw them all at the cliffs
Betrayed souls roam the ocean of broken dreams
Our hope is almost gone
It's lying deep in the abyss
Like treasure in a chest
The fragments of our faith
They sparkle like those diamond rings
We won't ever possess
The night is cold and dark
Some drowned but some keep holding on
To the ropes and broken masts
But how long can we last
The hostile water's calling us
Into the arms of death
Now every man has got to save himself
we were blind
Gave our lives with no fears
Royal writ sent our ships overseas
Furious waves threw them all at the cliffs
Betrayed souls roam the ocean of broken dreams
