I stroke the blade with my hand The sharp edge cuts the skin Blood drips to the rain wet sand My journey can begin
Once a slave But now I'm free My honor is restored ♪ Once again I'll ride the seas Free at last from whip and oar ♪ I slide the sword into the shied The ocean god is hailed And as we push out to the sea We raise the red striped sails ♪ I've missed the breeze Of my home shore The frozen lakes And winter snow But now my dream starts to unfold Father, I'm coming home ♪ The storm came down without remorse And water crushed the rails The ship was thrown back and forth As strong wind ripped the sails ♪ The icy waves Embrace my skin I am going numb The endless ocean swallows me This will be my cold wet tomb ♪ Won't feel the breeze Of my home shore Nor see the lakes Or winter snow My hopeful dreams lie ripped and torn Father, I die alone I die alone
