Swallowed by the Sea

Daughters of the land and sons of the seas
Tides of war bring no guarantees
Called to arms, far and near
A bitter decree; shaped by fear
Village pillaged and possessions seized
Burning homes and imprisoned disease
Land as loot, and lives to uproot
Forced to obey, or they will see the noose

A whipping boy in their rise to power
The hands of fate have struck the hour

And justice for none, a war never won
Tack, the exile has begun
Lies, deceit; indiscrete
The gallows they seek
And their maker they will meet

A whipping boy in their rise to power
The hands of fate have struck the hour

Leagues from land's end
Goodbyes left unsaid
Sorrows haunt memories
In a wake of hope they're left to be
Swallowed by the sea

Wave after wave, night after night
The hatches were battened for their final fight
A berth to roost, offered by lions
Longing for hope and tomorrow's horizon
Abandon your ships, but not your creed
All is lost, but for who's greed?
Hymns of hope in desolation
Yearn for home as they welcome salvation

A whipping boy in their rise to power
The hands of fate have struck the hour

Leagues from land's end
Goodbyes left unsaid
Sorrows haunt memories
In a wake of hope they're left to be
Swallowed

Leagues from land's end
Goodbyes left unsaid
Wander back to me
Restore what used to be
Swallowed by the sea
