A captain sailed the world countless times before

He promised this would be his last voyage to the distant shore

And took his wife along to join the crew, though still his first love was the sea

But then raging waves swept her away in a storm of jealousy

Day after Day, no more meaning in life

And what you have lost, won't come back

Day after day, the cruel and painful memories

You can't escape – this is your destiny

The captain had returned, but broken and alone

Feeling deep emptiness and the pain – his heart turning to stone

While standing on the pier, he was staring at the sea

Screaming at the waves - why did you take my love from me

With tears in his eyes – but without any doubt

He went on his boat – and then sailed out

Redemption from pain – and forgiveness for guilt

He died in the waves were his love had been killed

And it worked out in the end - ´cause they´ve been reunited hand in hand

Day by day, the cruel and painful memories

Can't escape – this is your destiny

Day after day, the cruel and painful memories

You can't escape – this is your destiny

Day after day, the cruel and painful memories

Can't escape – this is your destiny

Day after day, the cruel and painful memories

You can't escape – this is your destiny
